darkness

i refuse to be seen by mortals

trading dreams for seams of a badly fitted perception.

So wrap me with the night,

that my flight may go unnoticed 

by terrestrial beings who only see matter 

radiating light.

Mine is a cloak of darkness

devoid of all historical connotations.

For as man evolved

beyond the superficial elements of flesh,

some wouldn't believe and stumbled the earth

with eyes rolled back in their sockets.

Forgetting that the pupil is such,

in learning to see beyond itself.

those who saw the light embraced the darkness

and the mysteries of the unseen

now they have surrendered

and prostrate themselves to the will of the universe.

Led by the darkness

that guides stars.

Planets seldom use torch lights

to navigate the sun.
