darkness

free verse

dry and fertile. I took the picture

What can be said?

The hardest thing is to stand yourself.

When discovering

How this darkness could be deep

Is intense

As a relief of being totally aware of body and soul,

As diving

Into the

Most fathomless sea

And then,

While rising again,

As in debt of oxygen is lacking and you have no time to be wasted, anymore,

You see the sun,

The sun, again.

And in this frantic ascent

How much is it possible to lose what is to be lost,

To purge what is to be purged?

Can anyone tell it,

From the bottom of this darkness

To the mighty top of that mountain?
