ABSENCE

the first time it perceives it is alone, everything loses equilibrium.
the shiver of this unfamiliar feeling, this isolation. it is difficult to understand.
if her presence is the world bathed in pure light, then the shadow it casts is greater still. incomprehensibly dark.

ABEYANCE

as light withdraws, so does the very rhythm of the world itself.
sinking alone into a kind of darkness,
there is something instinctive taking place,
a search to make the incomplete
whole once again.
strange thoughts,
as indistinct as mist,
spidery, inquisitive tendrils,
they are probing the space in-between,
pressing against the diaphanous veil separating this oblivion from…
something else.

ABSOLUTION

she returns again.
the dreamer feels a rush of pleasure as warmth and light flood its world once more. the flickering curiosity collapses into relief, sweet relief. restoring equilibrium and envelops the dreamer back into the comforting aura once more.
the shadows are cast away.
Those explorations, those coruscating discoveries that illuminating the dark corridors of its mind…
Having tested the boundaries in this way, it begins to understand for the first time that there is a space where her glow does not cast or cannot reach.


What else could there be?
