Poem -
~ Waits The Darkness ~
Something there,
thick, heavy,
waiting on the horizon
longing to become the overcoat,
the keeper,
the disguiser of light...
In its vapor
a suggestion
of stars,
that may (one day)
implode,
and become the black hole,
the perfection
of itself...
Its fierce capacity
for enveloping,
devouring,
even the common interests
of men like me,
frightensÂ
my soul....and my ability
to care for it.
Am I capable of evil,
of torment?
Will I too drown
in its
overwhelmingness?
Will I struggle
for breath...
In the darkness....
Tony Taylor

Hey SILVY!!,,,,just so glad to see you back on the pages girlfriend!!......hope all is well with you and yours!!......smiles....T xo : )
God Tony its amazing to have you back. For me you have verbalised here the absolute terror I felt (and still.feel ) when confronted with an overwhelming and unbearable loss which forced me to confront, for the first time in my life, exactly what it is death means to me. All those unanswerable questions wrapped up.in stark black fear. Ultimately I became terrified of both life and death...not dying itself but what the reality of death might actually mean. Somehow, for me, your write verbalises those ominous threatening feelings. Brilliant write Tony x
Man Oh Man MARION!!.....this is the kind of comment that keeps the fires going in my creative living room!! (so to speak)......I thank you so much for this amazingly honest response!!.....I know where you're coming from obviously......having lost siblings and a parent I've had context to draw upon!!......I pray that those feelings you're experiencing are becoming less and less frightening and becoming the positive energy of faith and understanding!!......I know I still struggle with the whole "Game Of Life" thing!!.....sending lots of love!!.....T xo Â
Well the darkness has arrived for Tia evening and yet I am unsure if I want to close my eyes!
