If you think darkness is fear
follow me
If you see death in shadows
follow me
If you seek happiness through the sun
follow me
If you feel comfort in the covers
follow me
And I will show you the magic
of the hidden self
Joy screeching past decay
Reveals Life
Eternal
My latest take on Sue Vincent’s #writephoto prompt. As usual, I’m never quite sure where her photos will lead me. They seem to take on a voice of their own. If you would like to participate, please click here.
I seem to be lacking a photograph of an earthworm, but I’ll be honest, I don’t find it one of Mother Earth’s more attractive children. I once had a dream about finding a pile of live earthworms inside the skimmer basket of my pool. The earthworm brings our attention to the burden of the past we carry inside of us, reminding us that this weight we choose to bear can be recycled into new life.
Recycling the dark into Light
I chew the earth free to bring
air to dense matter. See without
eyes, feel
without hands
breathe
a skin of lungs
I am yin and yang
whole
even when broken
This past you carry
inside darkness
will be digested into light
The Light Behind the Story
