the space in your heart is so black
i love the idea of black hearts, of black suns, of black stars. it speaks of the unknowable, vastness of the inside of the human. black pupils,mouths opening to the unexplored darkness of parted lips. voices are darkness, they form around the sounds and create immense wells. what are humans to each other than portals to the infinite expanses? what are ideas but pools of hidden darkness? there is no light without the beauty of darkness to frame it, carry it along.

What a lovely reflection here, one of the most thoughts provoking piece I've read in a while. There is no light without darkness, no darkness without light yet where there is darkness there is no light and where there is light there is no darkness.
ReplyDeleteI love it
Ha! Both of you sound so much like my mother that it is not even funny! And it is definitely true...
ReplyDeleteYou cannot experience one without the other; you welcome light after darkness and you welcome darkness after light... both literally and figuratively.
The dance of light and shadow...it's what draws me to people and to exploring photography as a means of expression / revelation.Reve(a)lation. Relation. All these and so much more. The dilation and contraction of a person's pupils is what makes many a film that much more thrilling, enthralling, enchanting. You are good people, Samiah.
