response to week one's word: dark

dark
swallowed whole.
into the crack. swept away no looking back.
perspective lost. eyes open, closed. midnight blue,
most striking black.
nothingness.
dormant.
unseen.
unrealized.
unfulfilled.
unused.
potential. surrender. laid out, opened up.
reliance found in the child's nail
scratching away at the crayola color explosion paper.
under layer. cleared away.
darkness reveals the flashing neon lights.
open twenty-four seven

(it is very dark right now as we finish packing up the car to take off for a visit with favorite friends. it's also the first day of Christmas! so we begin celebrating for the next twelve days Jesus being the light of the world. we'll turn out the lights, light one candle each night, sing, read and most likely laugh. have a happy monday! )
beautiful words and image... thank you for starting the solstice to solstice project... really looking forward to participating
