A Different Kind of Dark

A Different Kind of Dark


Black is not emptiness
Or an absence of colour
It is a container
That holds them all
The boldest blues
The purest purples
The gentlest greens
And the rarest reds
Black hints toward
Shadows and shade
Depth of perception
Not illuminating
But highlighting 
What is hidden behind
Underneath
What is felt more than seen
Eyes must remain open
To see the depth of black
It is a different kind of dark
