writing in the dark
I feel compelled to
shine with the moon, to
wander between the shadows, to
breath in the inbetween
for it seems I am embossed
in the sugar and the salt
the yin and the yang
sleeping while awake
awake while sleeping, roaming
the valleys of my awareness
third eye locked
in perpetual candlelight
my eclipse is rare,
snuffed only at the wick's end
but in the shadows I am free
to write, to be
and my pen will never
succumb to the darkness
