I'm Nobody
I get stuck in the dark sometimes
I don't like the dark
I can't find my words
And it's too black to see the door
The batteries in my flashlight are dead
And each candle I light
Gets gently snuffed out
By a nonexistant breeze
No light in a dark place
Is just......emptiness
That emptiness is what
Makes it so quiet
I don't like the dark
I can't find my words
And it's too black to see the door
The batteries in my flashlight are dead
And each candle I light
Gets gently snuffed out
By a nonexistant breeze
No light in a dark place
Is just......emptiness
That emptiness is what
Makes it so quiet

I can see you in the dark
& I'm seeing that which is beautiful.
but your sadness, my God, your sadness...

People that have never been in the dark are quick to jump to the obvious... what they can see, They know where the door is because they can see it. Being in the dark allows us the opportunity to actively search and make sense of our life and surroundings on our own terms. :)
Gently snuffed out. So haunting and beautifully sad.

We need to experience the darkness that we can appreciate the light.
There is much beauty in darkness, silence being one. But there is also
hope that light will arise, and with it we bring to ourselves a new step
of growth from what we've learned in that dark silence.
A lovely write.

I know the weight of feeling this way...but as was said, it does give one an opportunity to adapt to a new way of 'seeing' in the dark! Outstanding piece lady :)

This piece resonates with me!
You're not nobody... you're somebody... and you're unique!

Ah yes, vacant is the perfect description.
It's been a very long time since I had comments
on my earlier poems.
A different person....how very perceptive of you.
It's always fascinating to watch the progression
through the poetic process.
Thanks so much for stopping in for a visit...
