Darkness can feel like an
all-consuming power…
It can force
shadows on all the light and colour that our life holds.
Poetry breaks through this for me, embracing the dark with
its light, allowing color to radiate through its shade, merging dark and light
and color together as one…

Her Dark and Light and Color
The light is calling her.
She can hear it as it shines in the distance.
She can see how it covers the sky with all shades of beauty.
She can feel it capturing the night, moulding with it, creating shade and color of artistic magnitude.
She can hear it as it shines in the distance.
She can see how it covers the sky with all shades of beauty.
She can feel it capturing the night, moulding with it, creating shade and color of artistic magnitude.
But the darkness holds her down.
Holds her still.
Holds her captive.
It grips every morsel of her interior world, pulling all exterior existence into its lonely prison.
Holds her still.
Holds her captive.
It grips every morsel of her interior world, pulling all exterior existence into its lonely prison.
It is strong,
Strong enough to suck the light into its terror.
Once taken, her light proves a greater power as it radiates with her darkness, as a canvas of kaleidoscopic colour,
Highlighting each ugliness she hides, in all of her dark and light and color.
Strong enough to suck the light into its terror.
Once taken, her light proves a greater power as it radiates with her darkness, as a canvas of kaleidoscopic colour,
Highlighting each ugliness she hides, in all of her dark and light and color.

Mariann Martland is discovering a voice in her life through words, poetry, art, inspiration and healing. She is learning the difference between enforced silence in the despair of loneliness and chosen silence in the beauty of solitude; how silence can create both pain and peace. She is beginning to find her voice and share her truth. She would love to connect with you on Twitter, or Facebook and on her blog ‘The Power of Silence’.
