darkness part 1 of 2 1/24/12

(a suggestion is that

between each question,

take some time

to fully immerse/image

what is being asked

for in depth enjoyment

before reading on.)

Is darkness the lioness,

breathing hard after the chase

but before the kill is complete?

Is darkness a tall, looming large,

in an overshadowing way?

Is darkness our excuse

for literacy disguised as block print?

Is darkness another kind of logic

as our unclaimed part of the brain,

our reasoning for miracles,

our distance from genius,

our justifications,

for religion and war?

Is darkness a soul's smile

coming towards us

but yet fully unseen?

Is darkness any dimension

that has not succumb

to familiarity's greed?

Is darkness

the Stations of the Cross

as our inabilities towards change?

Is darkness like

the surround

of a lit flashlight spot

as what we use as frame?

Is darkness a self imposed leash

as leathery appointments

to keep us close

to apprehensions’ claims?

Is darkness

a pliable emotional means

for irrational oppositions

to almost anything?

Is darkness a state

of untapped refinement,

say, a rough cut of doom

until diamond is disclosure?

Is darkness a wardrobe

of the unknowables,

dancing in drag?

Is darkness the mother lode

of all futures withheld?

Is darkness the stage mother

behind the child prodigy

called “experiences' ”

ever ascent through life?

Is darkness a ground-figure solution

not yet surfaced-smoothed into mirror?

Is darkness a vacated place

of being,

not yet realized as whole?

Is darkness a unit

of evolutionary gain or loss?

Is darkness a cast,

like a spell?

Is darkness a permission

for any ritual’s formidability?

Is darkness an authorization

for any rebuke’s thoroughness?

Is darkness a sense,

like self-consciousness,

with a negation claim upon it,

based on unclear intent?

And lastly,

is darkness a state of mind,

as a set of skills,

a way of being,

maybe a location

and yet, in all ways,

part of our personal journey?
