Poem: "Reborn In Darkness" by Andy Horry

Reborn In Darkness

Andy Horry

Words flare

Without a care.

Silence stands

With violent strands.

The dark penetrates

Your glistening soul.

Words are spoken

But always broken.

The dark shuts you down

And unravels your gown.

Chaos is unleashed but

Beneath remains nothing.

Yet again... here you are.

In the silence you can't bare.

Your words,

They mean nothing,

Your mask,

It is slipping.

There's a beast awakening

But this voyage has only just begun.

You spent your life fighting,

Your demons, your darkness

But it's been seeping into you

For a reason all along.

Light may not be cast

Without darkness.

You found the stage long ago.

It's call bellowed to you

Yet you always fled.

Well now it's time to stay.

Your new home is darkness.

You can journey wherever

You think you want to be

But that will never

Take away the burning

Desire that lead you here.

A dark demon echoed

A challenge to slay it down.

You thought the slay

Would be the end

But you destroyed your

Old self in the process.

The old you is gone

Making way for the

Sovereign warrior,

The magician,

The dark demon that you are.

Who you were always destined to be.

Now you're free from the sheep

And the cowards.

The child became the adult.

The challenge you accepted

Is now yours to own.

It is your trusty tool

Of initiation.

You are courageous

And you will find others

In your stride to be the best.

Your intuition will bring you worthy

Allies to partner with the

Darkness and transmute

The deep wisdom that

Few dare to take a peep at.

For now I suggest you

Settle in to your new home.

Surrender to the silence,

Dettach from your words,

Your reason, your methods.

You need none of these..

For they all came from

A deeper place and here

You are in the Palace of Darkness.

At the heart of it all.

The dark stage

Where the act will go on

But never again will you

Judge it's role in the

Performance of this reality.

You were always here really

But your mind made you

Believe you were somewhere else.

You were born in darkness

And you lived in darkness.

Now it's up to you to either resist

Or own your roots.

Celebrate your death

And splender in the great rebirth

Of the dark mystic you have become.

Or go back to the herd of sheep.

Your fate is in your hands.
