Light
Madness is never silent
crucially defiant
never to rest
born to struggle
I grasp onto night
holding a place
for my own darkness
so I can appreciate the light

"light stimulating molecules
light stimulating birth
light rushing through the depths of space
light crashing into Earth..."
piece of an old poem came to mind after reading your poem also named Light

Dear Lawrence,
Thank you for sharing you words. I will check out the full piece. I believe there is light in everything and everyone but we all need to find our own path to it. Thank you for the read and taking time to respond. Bless kindred poet. xx

.......born to struggle. Never fitting into that mold. Keep up the good fight. PS: we all have a dark corner. Regards, Robert.

Dear Viking,
Thank you. Yes, a bit of a misfit but being left of centre is where I belong. I like it there. I imagine you do as well. We have to be grateful for those dark corners as they make us who we are and somehow better for them. Bless xx

Thank you lovely. I appreciate the read and response. I am well when I accept how things are and not how I want them to be. Here and now in the light. Thank for asking.

Morning Mel,how are things?
Yes--- accepting things as "how they are,and not how you want"-can be difficult 2 fathom.
But the " Light" will hopefully work things out.
Take care.

Dear M,
“Madness is never silent” no it is not. I had a hard time moving past this line and its brilliance of truth. After I did push on I truly appreciated the spark of hope in acknowledging one’s own darkness with the flecks and slivers of light dotting said darkness and gratitude for those brief moments of relief . I really admire this piece and it’s honesty. H🌷

Dear H,
I am both happy and sad that you identify with this write. No, madness is not silent but it is that same emotion that inspires. I’ll take the dark if it also gives me the light. Thank you for the read and response. The RL is an honour. Bless xx

I love the rhythm and rhyme here. The whole thing is kind of Happysad. As you mentioned in a previous comment, I'll take the dark if it also gives me the light. I even think the dark helps us to see things that others miss. Thank you for your competition entry. I've just launched Bonkers #2 in case you're interested!
