Darkness

Undefined

Darkness

Has a bad reputation.

Calls for instant mitigation.

When one thinks about its misconstrued connotation.

Many are made to be afraid with words of inflation.

But in darkness the earth yields and the womb produces life.

A process, a momentary location allowing for a transition.

A place where movements are inspired, truth transpires, and love takes one higher.

Darkness, a space, void with no expectations.

No lingering desire to fit into the validation of society and become crippled with anxiety.

A place of reflection, new direction, desperation, no longer complacent.

Quietness leads one to face their fears and gain dominion over self.

Duality, non-linear insight.

Finding beauty outside of the misguided and frightened.

Restitution, returning to self, no label, no fables, embracing only spirit.

Darkness

Has a bad reputation.

Calls for instant mitigation.

When one thinks about its misconstrued connotation.

Many are made to be afraid with words of inflation.

But in darkness the earth yields and the womb produces life.
