Black on Black

Reaching for the wonderful
things in life that have
vanished into the darkness
Searching for what isn’t
there anymore -
Eyes shut tight-
Black on black

Falling in holes that echo
the words of loneliness
and terror
Blind is the direction-
Walk right into the dark
repetitive inadequacies
still reaching for the wonderful
things in life that have
vanished into the darkness-
Search for what isn’t there
anymore
accept defeat
Eyes shut tight
Black on black

no, no! Marilyn, never "accept defeat".. never give up. Try opening those eyes around 6 a.m., when the world is still quiet and anything is still possible. When it's darkest, light a candle and make yourself smile. It is a physical act that you can FEEL! This is a profound commentary of a human condition we can all understand... but which none needs to allow to overtake us. Great piece! katy xox (be well)

A good definition of crazy is when we repeat the same task again and again, expecting a different result......you should open your eyes for even in darkness there is enlightenment. I enjoyed your poem.
