Solstice Poem

O Darkness!
Loving darkness, protecting me like the womb,
Birthplace of dreams, ocean of infinity,
You are the egg that hatches and becomes the world.

Where is the place of our meeting?
Nowhere and everywhere, (Miracle of darkness!)
And in one place, a secret snowy night under blankets and warm and not even a sliver of the moon has broken the silence...

Titanic darkness, vastness incomprehensible,
I open my eye and I'm returned to the world of the story,
Of narratives, sensations, histories, ideas,
Things which happen and things which don't

O darkness, mother,
Why am I not strong enough to see things as they really are?
