And as I step forward, on towards the distant light,
The darkness gathers behind me,
Further and further I go, ever on towards the light,
Finally I reach halfway, and sit, and rest, and think.
Darkness behind, light before,
Light before, darkness behind,
Both as blind as each other,
One too little, one too much.
And so, I turn, and face the darkness,
Turn my back on the light, and step forward,
Returning to my familiar grounds,
Where blindness awaits in recognizable surrounds.
The darkness gathers behind me,
Further and further I go, ever on towards the light,
Finally I reach halfway, and sit, and rest, and think.
Darkness behind, light before,
Light before, darkness behind,
Both as blind as each other,
One too little, one too much.
And so, I turn, and face the darkness,
Turn my back on the light, and step forward,
Returning to my familiar grounds,
Where blindness awaits in recognizable surrounds.

this is a bit biblical to me....thanks for your pylons poem... i forgot to say....eek ;0P
Wow--that is INCREDIBLE! I love your darkness by the way--I love that you choose darkness...
...thank you...
I thought I'd get slated for rhyming light with, well, light...
:) so I stopped the rhymes after that...
simon - a few months ago i was walking out to meet a friend from his car outside my house (it was dark), and for a few seconds i actually believed that i was witnessing a UFO. i time enough to be in awe and then think 'right, it really is'. it was all coloured lights wirling around...then i realised it was a zeppelin with advertising on it, hovering around. for a few seconds i was totally convinced i was privy to a sighting. it was real at the time. i was saying 'oh my god. oh my god' and when irealised, i just made out to my mate that i was just admiring the lights of the zeppelin.....ahem
