I’ve been told that we should generally leave a few shadow
threads in each of our poems even if only for contrast.
To go into the dark with a light is to
know the light.ie. go dark.
Go without sight, and find that the dark, too,
blooms and sings,
and is traveled by dark feet and dark wings.
Wendell Berry
Man’s shadow, I thought, is his vanity.
Friedrich Nietzsche
This thing of darkness I acknowledge mine.
Shakespeare

Excerpt from The Tempest Act 4, Scene 1
by William Shakespeare
Our revels now are ended. These our actors,
As I foretold you, were all spirits and
Are melted into air, into thin air:
And, like the baseless fabric of this vision,
The cloud-capp’d towers, the gorgeous palaces,
The solemn temples, the great globe itself,
Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve
And, like this insubstantial pageant faded,
Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff
As dreams are made on, and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep.
Excerpt from “The Tempest” Act 4, Scene 1 by William Shakespeare. Public domain.

in a laughable smile, Poetry Tags: all night long, christmas eve, no fairy takes, no planets strike, Shakespeare, sings, so gracious is the time, that season comes, the bird of dawning
In Act I Scene I of Hamlet, Shakespeare wrote:
“Some say that ever ’gainst that season comes /
Wherein our Saviour’s birth is celebrated, /
This bird of dawning singeth all night long; /
And then, they say, no spirit dare stir abroad, /
The nights are wholesome, then no planets strike, /
No fairy takes, nor witch hath power to charm, /
So hallow’d and so gracious is the time.”

And therein lies the rub…
Within the tub
Cause down the drain
Go joy and pain
The merry team descend.
I wonder where
Below the air
My skin cells flow
I cannot know
Their end!
They flow and plant
The seeds to ants
Sprouting roots
Under boots
‘Til seedlings grow again.
I think exists that which I see
when in fact invisibility
is real as me!
Thank you Shakespeare!
