Melancholia: Middle English: black bile.
wait please, stay with me…
darkness I am learning
gently and patiently
is startlingly delightful
sure of course, some dark holds menace
but the dark I have encountered
rising in the morning before the sun as I do
it is what I make of it.
dark: the space between lightings.
sadness: the space between where the valley meets the mountaintop.
blackness: the color created from wherein all others arise.
melancholia: the space between illuminations.
