I was told that God was light
But I searched for Him in the dark
Where He had no name
For me to make assumptions
Or a face
To derail me with illusions
Like a blind person on a dark night
I stepped in with arms outstretched
To wander in a vacuum
Not knowing
The edge from the center
Or a maze from a straight line
I would feel a graze at my fingertips
But find nothing there to grasp
I would hear a whisper of an answer
Then nothing more was shared
All of that, my mind’s play
And none of it real
I groped in the dark
For anything to hold
As the ground started to crumble
Along with my knowns
But the more I wandered
More did the silence grow
When the answers refused to come
The questions began to go
I halted the search
As there was nothing to be found
For the place where I was lost
Was the place I knew was home
How can a cloud search for the sky
Or water look for the ocean
How can I search for God in the darkness
When
The nameless
The faceless
He was
The Darkness
