Ether Refracted

The Ether envelops all we see
Reaching out into our souls
We stand in adversity
                         Fighting
                               Dreaming
                                            Loving
                                                   Dying
Cowering from that we cannot understand
The Abyss calls
          Do not answer
And demands our souls
          Keep it at bay
Peering into our fears
          It will swallow your light
And showing the nightmares of our mind
          But what it shows is truth
We all have our skew on this truth
That shapes our very universe
Light and the Dark
                         Love and Fear
our eyes see with clouded haze
Shaped by our emotions
                       and our own prejudice
We cannot know
          We cannot see
                   We cannot comprehend
                            We cannot seem to face
The absolute truth
For none are without clouds
The light refracts and changes
To be without this
                               Is not to be human

Okay after reading this a few times, I have to say I think it kinda sucks.  I write to spark emotions, however, and think that it would be a waste not to post it to see if it gets any reactions.  We'll have to see.  :)

poetry, world view
