Cogito, ergo sum.
There is a brilliance
in this darkness
that even the blind
will see.
There is a symphony
in this silence - -
A heaven - for me.
We are but a breeze
amidst a storm at sea
This precarious spark
We-- humanity.

hello Obi,
I love this poem... but don't understand the meaning of the title. could you educate me? sometimes I feel like I'm one of the number of the blind. yet every now and then I get a flash of light behind closed eyelids.
these are my favorite lines of this piece:
We are but a breeze
amidst a storm at sea
This precarious spark
We-- humanity.
respectfully, Cat

hiya, Witcy.

Cogito, ergo sum.... I think, therefore I am..... René Descartes.
Perhaps tad pretentious of me to use as a title,
but the poem was written at a time when I questioned,,,, is all this shit worth it?
I can now happily report after much cogitation......... Yes!
Thank you so much for stopping by dear Lady.
Obi.
