Between Darkness and Light there is You and I

dark am I, yet lovely
do not stare at me because i am dark,
i am darkened by the sun
you delight to sit in the shade
shadow and light
coincides
"not once have you looked at me with kindness in your eyes"
you too,
who look at me with pretty eyes
in you darkness resides
because it is Between earth and sky you'll find the light
where we are all, Looking for the sake of watching
just Another light blinding
See past the bright lights
standing on the otherside
Out-shunned by everyone
we're darker than youd ever know
Sitting here, with no place in mind
Exactly what we need, Away from everything
Searching brings us closer to the end
just sit and wait,
Let the light fade with time
Seeing is believing until you go blind





I slept but my heart was awake


As overcast skies,
call for tomorrow,
Awake,
awake, north wind,
and come south wind,
blow on my garden
that Your light may expose all my shadows
dry up,
all that is deluded
that my fragrance may spread astray
watch how,
watch how my garden grows.

i love this shadowy transition between light and dark,dream and wake.

Great write. This makes me think about how beauty does not always mean goodness. Darkness could be behind the deep blue eyes of a seemingly lovely vision.
