In+a+Dark+Time

 In a dark time, the eye begins to see, I meet my shadow in the deepening shade; I hear my echo in the echoing wood-- A lord of nature weeping to a tree. I live between the heron and the wren , Beasts of the hill and serpents of the den. What's madness but nobility of soul At odds with circumstance? The day's on fire! I know the purity of pure despair, My shadow pinned against a sweating wall. That place among the rocks--is it a cave, Or a winding path? The edge is what I have.

 * ==In A Dark Time ==

A steady storm of correspondences! A night flowing with birds, a ragged moon, And in broad day the midnight come again! A man goes far to find out what he is-- Death of the self in a long, tearless night, All natural shapes blazing unnatural light.

Dark, dark my light, and darker my desire. My soul, like some heat-maddened summer fly , Keeps buzzing at the sill. Which I is I? A fallen man, I climb out of my fear. The mind enters itself, and God the mind, And one is One, free in the tearing wind. ||  Metaphor:  A comparison of two things not using like or as.

Simile: A comparison of two things using like or as.

Rhyme: Two or more words ending in a similar or synonymous sound

In the night I hear 'em talk, the coldest story ever told Somewhere far along this road he lost his soul To a woman so heartless How could you be so heartless? How could you be so heartless?
