DARK TRUTH

DARKNESS IS A COMPLICATED PRETENTIOUS THING. IT COULD EITHER CONCEAL THE TRUTH IN PITCH BLACK VOIDS OR SHOW YOU TRUTH'S TRUE FORM- A PITCH BLACK VOID A BLANK A MYSTERY. IT SUDDENLY OCCURS TO YOU THAT TRUTH IS THERE: TRUTH UNTOUCHED, ONLY WHEN YOU CLOSE YOUR EYES

DESPITE THAT

THE STARS MESMERIZE ME
HOW THEY KNOW THEIR PLACE IN THE VASTNESS OF THE SKY...
THE EARTH BELOW IT TURNS
THE MOON SHE CHANGES TIDES
THE SUN HE ENDS OUR TIME BUT
BUT O THE STARS...THEYRE JUST FIXED UP THERE
STUCK EVEN UPON THE MOVEMENT OF THE UNIVERSE.
STARS ALWAYS MESMERIZE ME. MAY I LIKE THEM SHINE ON DESPITE DEATH AND DARKNESS.
