Beauty In Darkness

Just a short poem I did.

Beauty In Darkness

Darkness hides all the awful things that seek you out in the light

and covers all the terrible images the light reveals.

Blind.

I can see more in dark than in light.

Have you ever felt a sunrise

or tasted moonlight?

have you ever heard the night slowly crawl across the horizon;

devouring what is left of the day.

Secrets are whispered silently and lost in the dark. 

Echos and silence mingle together to create the symphony of shadows.

Deaf.

I hear more in the silence of the night.

Have you ever felt the embrace of darkness

or caught the scent of morning rays of light?

Even the most quiet words spoken in silence carry the power

of a roaring thunder storm.

Mute.

I speak more words in my mind than I ever could aloud.

Have you ever felt pain?

Whether it was the smallest burn or your lungs straining while you choke under water.

It completely surrounds you and buries itself deep into your soul 

even if it only lasts a second.

Numb.

I feel nothing.

I like how you included the ability to speak in place of one of the five senses. The whole paragraph after the word 'mute' is nicely placed. It makes me think of someone in such a deep state of pain that they want to scream, but they can't because they're mute. Instead, they become numb. I think that's a cool description of what it would be like to actually, physically be in that situation. It also can (obviously) be taken in a more symbolic sense: someone has a deep emotional pain but never says anything, and becomes numb to it and everything else.

Like the night, this poem is beautiful.
It's beautiful and full of shadows.
Very well played. I like the wording and unique presentation. ^^

It is both dark an moving, however you confused me for a moment when you focused on senses rather then light & dark.
