Hidden Truths Poem by Bethany Maxwell

In darkness we see nothing,
It is nothing,
Only blackness,
Solitude,
Aloneness.

In a world of light we see everything,
It is everything.
Light fills the gaps in our minds showing us reality,
Truth,
Existence.

When the lights go off and darkness comes,
Everything we knew is lost,
It becomes consumed by the nothing,
Hidden,
Lost.

Everything is engulfed in nothing,
It is hidden from our mind,
Yet it is still there,
Exists,
Is.

Blindness is like the darkness,
With a dark curtain covering our perception,
And things still exist in the world,
Reality,
Fact.


Darkness is the emptiness of seeing,
The lack of evidence of existence,
Yet without perceived minds they are still there,
Exist,
Are.
