Outstaring darkness



They say the total realism
is equal to the total pessimism,
and although there might be some grain of truth in it
it doesn't have to be so negatively terrible.
Outstaring darkness, if when it's total,
is just making the discovery of certain lights in it,
and there never was a person dying
without smoothly getting over it
and even smartly even with it and away with it
completely disappearing to the other side
without a trace, without informing anyone
and maybe even without dying –
that's what we may all discover when we die.
Well, I'll not be too morose and acrid about this,
but will be niggardly content with pointing out
the trivial truism, that all is not what it seems.

I don't think realism is passmism,
Realism I think is truism,
Realism is coming to terms with truth,
Realism is having on ground your foot...

(((Hugs Chriatian for a thought provoking poem.!)))

i dont agree with your choice of language, toward the end of the piece. it destroys the delicacy of it all, it really does. it simply stands out too much, surely you notice this as well. but i did like the complexity of the rest of your poem, it worked with itself, it worked together, and it worked well. but, you cannot get away with throwing it out there, like you did...oh well, right?
