Darkness

The nite is dark, it brings sleep
space is dark and empty
my love's hat is dark, it is black
coal is dark, it brings heat
graphite is dark, it brings scribbles
my heart is dark, it is empty
my eyes are dark, they are empty
my mind is dark, it is empty

suck us into the black hole from which there is no escape
in singularity we become one
and one is many
and many is diverse
and thus begins the long journey
once again towards emptiness
towards darkness
the journey which never ends.

Life and death, light and darkness
male and female, sky and sea
and you and me

Praise the darkness.
Now take our swords and kill it.
