Darkness

Darkness

Let me move into the darkness

Without a ray of light

For darkness has its own soul

I carry my darkness within

To meet the calm spread of a larger universe

There are no opposites

No oppositions

No hates

But acceptance of mutual wounds

Those that have stopped oozing but are yet to heal

Covered by dark shades

Camouflaged by the calmness with chaos within

When the lightless meets the one without a shine

The density increases manifolds

The appreciation dawns to acknowledge the existence

Yes, darkness is real and can persist for long

The fatigue of all that is bright

Sometimes takes a toll

For we want to then settle with what is dark

The uncelebrated

The Unseen

The underestimated power

Of subtle strength

Torching it away always is not advisable

Let it persist for a while

Make you pause

Wonder

How illusive is the light?
