I See Stars...

‘People will do anything, no matter how absurd, in order to avoid facing their own souls. One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious. If you comprehend the darkness, it seizes you. It comes over you like the night with black shadows and countless shimmering stars’

Carl Gustav Jung

And as I knelt, at once You came
Black and white bristle face
Shadow shell ghost of a thing
Silent sound devil
with an outstretched hand.

Your bleak day prophecies
Lip drip down
down
Drown out Divine echoes
Like winter was just outside

A shutter stock memory
of that day, so long ago now
That I asked You to decimate Me
Ruin
Slaughter
Bury
Me, in that anxiety shook
pulse pound nightmare
Turning corners in
panic room mansions
with blood beat bath mats

What hour was it
that I first knew
that idle hands were not
Your playground, but the darkest recesses of this heart
You called home

But ceaseless and calm sea rage
into that Dark Night, I did not go
Your shrill shriek collapsing
they will never understand
never understand

For the Darkness that began
as Our Night
became
the Power that birthed Our Light

I know You now
from the day I died
You looked on
Smirked up and eyes wide

For in My Light
You see Scars

But in Your Dark

I see stars ✨
