The night is for the bulb of lilies

The night is for the bulb of lilies
Confined alone in the darkness
Only thought goes on
Fears, the more frightening the better
Loneliness, more helpless the better
Sadness, deeper the better
For all are for the bulb to grow
–
The greater light to rule the day
That all living things grow and thrive
The night was given the lesser light
That the things be kept from death but suffer

The suffering in tears is most loved
Unnoticed but smile on the fight and struggle
Trembling inside the bulb from fears
For the bulb does not know, it is yet to know
–
Into the day of the greater light
The bulb will grow and bloom into flowers with fragrance
For the world in the bright light
Then it will know it all.

AshiAkira had wrote this beautiful poem in response to my post “The night, the devourer of souls“.

Thank you Ashi
