pieces of light

pieces of light
pierce into my darkness
shattering upon impact
scattering and refracting
across an abyssic landscape
highlights of prismic colors
rain down like an exploding rainbow
and fizzle into nothing
in a garish display of dominance
the darkness consumes and devours
the fragments as they fall
until no more remain
the darkness settles back in

this brings me to so many places ive been in my life where nothing can help me (the light) then, the help breaks in and does its work and leaves...taking me right back to where i was in the first place. i just love it!!

I don't think it is humanly possible to paint more vivid colors through words, then YOU just have! This 'lightshow' was magnifico!!-no I am not bi-lingual, but after reading this mind melter, I think I just started mysteriously using an extra 20% of my brain!!-LOL!!(thanks, maybe now I'll be able to figure out how to eat with those crazy chop-stick thingies finally!! lol)~You are a mind-altering genius, and you give the gifts of the unknown through your mastery! guess what new friend??-Yeppers, you ARE brilliant!!-Promise to keep on shinin', and I promise to keep on readin'!-10, but of course.-Maddi

If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.

Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) American poet.
