contrast
Learn more about other poetry terms
A spirit light, a heart unbound
A place to stand, safe from thunderclouds
A mind at rest, a heart at peace
Where home is warm, and meant to be
A harbor strong amidst the rain
For what’s darkness,
But a contrast to light?
The only reason light can exist
Is because there is darkness for it to illuminate.
Light heals,
Love is not chocolates and heart-shaped candy ,Nor be it candlelight and eloquent dinners,In the crowded, glowing midnight city,Nor be it dressed in soft furs,
I often find myself wondering,
If there is something more out there,
For me,
For us,
But then I remember,
That we all die,
This cliched little dance we've found;
You cast a line: I nibble,
You close away and leave me
wondering over my patter -
(too much, and
Have I offended?) ~ Shrug
All of our dreams have been the same- to spread our wings and take flight with the hot sun beating down and strong winds blowing.
Fiery red was the rock
It was boiling, scorching, blistering sizzling, burning, searing rock.
It is going to explode
To blast through the earth with incredible power, strength, and force.
And yet
Based off of “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings” by Maya Angelou
The Day roars sunlight at the first break of morning
and sheds out his mane till only his sun commands
and pounces happily in his playful freedom.
A window frames a picture
Of beautiful mountains
Reaching high
Dressed in the green
Of a thousand trees.
A window frames a picture
Of black choking smoke-
Raging flames
