Dark light

The Sun swings easy

On his chariot through 

the skies, sure and steadfast blessing, 

Provident light trickles through my skin, 

Seeps into my eyes, infiltrates brain cells, 

Burning bright.


Have you ever imagined God's burning bush?

Speaking to you, crooning songs of a universe?

White fire in the wind-borne mind, the Messiahs 

Drive through movie theatres in reverse.

There's no end to pain, there's always rain

There's always light, trailing dark robes of

Monad night.


Wonder why darkness is not a thing itself?

Why darkness is not mere absence of light?

It is what holds all light within itself,

Releasing Nihil into the mighty night.

Black is not a colour, nor monochrome,

But the entire palette suppressed.

White fire is liberation of infinite spectrums,

Every unforgettable joy and impossible regret.


The Sun won't hide its quantum drive

Its energy drives and rides our solarium,

An invitation "Be alive! “Be golden white!”

A being radiant, gathered by darkness

In the end, then, to sultry darkness

The grace of brilliance lend.
