The Darken Path

You, Darkness

You, darkness, that I come from
I love you more than all the fires
that fence in the world,
for the fire makes a circle of light for everyone
and then no one outside learns of you.

But the darkness pulls in everything-
shapes and fires, animals and myself,
how easily it gathers them! -
powers and people-

and it is possible a great presence is moving near me.

I have faith in nights.


Rainer Maria Rilke

I like this poem for only one reason alone.That sometimes like Beast I want to remain hidden.Isa 29:15 but that is in the past. But now a new darkness arise, a more useful unto the Lord Almighty.Psa 18:11
