Poem Artwork

-- Day and Night --

by John Herlihy

 

Day is the door

Night is the key

Day as a reality

Night as mystery

Day an open box

Filled with daylight

Night a closed box

In a crack moonlight

Day is a promise

Ready to conceal

Night as solace

Ready to reveal

Day and night

Darkness and light

THANK GOD FOR BOTH OF THEM. I HARDLY KNOW WHAT I WOULD DO IF I HAD TO LIVE MY LIFE ENTIRELY IN THE CONSTANT REALITY OF EITHER ONE, WITHOUT A CHANGE. I MEAN...WOULD THAT OLD CLICHE' CLICK IN, '...ONE CANNOT MISS WHAT THEY HAVE NEVER HAD...'? I DON'T KNOW, BUT FOR SURE...I AM SO GLAD FOR THIS DUALITY OF DAY AND NIGHT GOD HAS GIVEN US. SOUNDS LIKE YOU ARE TO. THANKS FOR SHARING. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...HIS+INSPIRATIONS

Yes, the distinction has merit and value as a reminder of even light and dark has their own form of paradox. Thanks for posting.
