the darkness

How does one know who to be?
How does one know where to go?
How does one know what to do?
He doesn’t.
There is no such thing as one hundred percent certainty in these things.
You do not walk through life in bright light.
You go into the darkness,
You try to find your way in complete darkness.
You go, you fall, you stand up and you fall.
The truth is nobody knows where exists the switch to turn on the lights.
No one knows that.
They just crawl through this darkness,
Hoping that they’ll find the right way.
It’s all risk.
Living is risk.
Walking, talking, eating, sitting can be risk.
Do not be risk-averse,
Just do.
Do not stay still,
Just go.
The one dies once he stops.
Do not make it easier for the angels of death,
Don’t stop before it’s time -
Just go.

That do you think about any way?
And would you like to live with play?
This darkness stay a front of me:
I'm not afraid of course to go and be!

I come to the Jordan River every time;
There you can hug me with a little rhyme.
I liked your poem: this is my respect!
You have a long and beautiful prospect...

we are born into the darkness
and we’d get lost
if there were no light
in our hands
and it is our duty
to light the way.

I thank you for your comment
and wish you all the best
