Shadow Dance
Poetry by Gill Schwartz

ENDARKENMENT

There is a Way of Darkness
As there is a Way of Light,
A Descent to the Source,
As there is an Ascension.

Shadow defines the face of the One
That otherwise would be flat and lifeless.
The Lover's kiss can be torment
To the heart as well as bliss.
The Maker's clasp can crush
As well as bring to creation.

Pray, do not simplify this mystery,
Do not fear-sunder the Whole.
Dip your being deep into the wonder,
Beyond choice, into the waiting revelation.
