The Rising Light – Interactive Poetry

Anna B, from https://annabsphotograpy.wordpress.com offered her photography for my interactive poetry. She said that I could use any of her photographs, so I chose the one below. I thought it was a beautiful image.

The darkness envelopes
the world we once knew.
The obsidian night
blocks our sight
as our eyes search
for something new.

The rising light
cracks the surface of the black air.
Breaking the the night
that blinds us,
Making way for the light
that guides us.

Brightening
the darkest of corners.
Opening
the eyes of the world.
Reflecting
in our eyes-
in our hearts-
in our minds.

Shining
on the day
before the darkness
seeps through
and blackens our skies
once again.
