darkness


The sun sets.
And we both sit here.
Waiting.

We wait for the darkness
to set in
and fill us.

A darkness
We cannot comprehend.
We cannot grasp.

We let this darkness
Embrace us.
Unfold before us.

Like any other day
We used to have...



I took this photo during my vacation in Bicol, early this year...

Nice one Nyanya. It's a very poetic way of describing dusk.

wow...another photographer! weee! thanks for dropping and i'm definitely adding you to my roll..ahehe! astig ang title ah.."chronicles of narnia, este nyanya pala! hehe... frustrated photographer ako sobra. hehe! anyway i have a quote for you... you speak of darkness kasi..haha!

"Does this darkness have a name? This cruelty, this hatred, how did it find us? Did it steal into our lives or did we seek it out and embrace it? What happened to us that we now send our children into the world like we send young men to war, hoping for their safe return, but knowing that some would be lost along the way. When did we lose our way? Consumed by the shadows. Swallowed whole by the darkness. Does this darkness have a name? Is it your name?"
