Hora Nigra, 'the black hour'
Absence of light
Children afraid of the dark
Veiled dreams
Ebony shadow follows us
Hiding identity
Mysterious and concealed
Symbolic allegory
'Le Livre du cœur d'amour épris'
Clandestine secret
Stealthy backstairs of our heart and soul
Concealment of what lies within
Absorption of sable moments
Is it, black misunderstood
A contrary force
Yin to Yang
Burned earth
Luminosity had to to precede darkness
Some spark
A flash
Flame before
Coal from embers of our being
Duality
Olber's Paradox
Pitch sightings, lead to reflection
Only in absence of brilliance do we truly appreciate it
Raven heralds the radiance
Befalling twilight
Night
Gloomy and bleak
Somber and dour
Midnight
A Queens color
For which we cast fire
Hide, behind tinted sunglasses
Holly Golightly dress
Hope is the new black
Break of day redemption
God's first gift "Let there be light"
Eight-branch candelabras, celebrate enduring faith
Diwali lanterns glow
Allah, a source of light
In our darkest hour
It is the stillness of black
That illuminates our personal beacon
Light comes in many colors
All that is good and bad
Black and white
We have
Shades of sanctity
