The Color Black by Robert A. Sloan
Only in the darkness can you see the faintest stars.
Only in the night's own ink are written poets' scars.
Only in the shadows are the shapes they give to light.
Only in the climb from pain does hope appear to sight.
Only in the sable pigment rainbowed colors run.
Only in the shade is there relief from too much sun.
And in the darkest hours are heard a lover's sweetest sighs.
And in the depths of blackest wells the clearest water lies.
And in the raven warnings of wild youth our freedom sings.
And in the black of priests and widows tragedy still rings.
And in the stark dark tragedies the wounded need not hide.
And in the black veiled privacy anyone might confide.
Look in a black glass mirror if you long to see your fate.
There is a way that dawn looks finer after midnight late.
