My Darkness

My need to be understood has finally over come me and inspired me to create a breakdown of what is my Darkness. For to long my trust in shadows and such has been looked upon and its true meaning not understood. Because of this I have been rejected, criticized, labeled. To understand my darkness you must first erase all knowledge and things learned from media about darkness, and shadows and about what lurks in the dark. Movies, books, religions, all these things have convinced you that the dark stands for that which is evil, That the ones lurking in the dark hide there to inflict harm upon you and your loved ones. None of these things are true. What is true is that those who do wish to inflict harm hide in the shadows to remain unseen and have ruined what the first thought of darkness is. Just as a school can have all the most skilled and intelligent teachers and state of the art learning equipment but as long as the students are reluctant to learn and do not pass the school will be looked down upon, not the students. The darkness is not evil, the darkness does not withhold secrets, and the darkness has never done anything to harm a soul. It is just a primal force, a thing like all other things on earth. Wind, fire, earth, light, darkness, all just forces and elements, none are evil, none or good. In my eyes there are no such things as evil or good. Only kindness and cruelty exist in this life.
                My Darkness… The one which I wish will one day become yours. The one that I wish will one day be understood by all. What I wish is that all things can be understood for their true meaning. That things will no longer be assumed to be know from what image they present.. My darkness is the silence between in notes in beautiful music, my darkness is the shadows that surround you at night to help you fall asleep. My darkness is the candles that create shadows the caress a romantic moments, my darkness is the sky that surrounds a beautiful full moon. My darkness is that which allows the moons light to be seen. My darkness is the calm feeling of walking in a park once the sun has fallen, the stars in the sky. My darkness is beauty, my darkness is love, my darkness is serenity. My darkness is when two dance slowly together and get lost in their passion for each other, the mind no longer is in reality but in a place deep within itself where things are made of thought and emotion. This is darkness for me, because when you turn out all the lights its no longer what you can see you have, its what you can feel.
                During times when I need deep thought or calm to sooth pain of life I turn out all the lights to allow the darkness in.. While in it my mind can travel within itself and exist in its world rather than the one my eyes perceive. I allow the minds power and emotions to rule over realities flesh and bone. What I call the darkness helps me, its acts as all the things that make life worth living. It is my peace, my mind, my soul and all things spiritual that you must feel inside your heart. Things that cannot be seen, they must be felt with things other than your skin.
 
Darkness is Love.
