Black


White is all colors
Yet
We call it pure

Black is absence of color
Yet
We call it impure

White reflects everything,
An impenetrable chill.
Black absorbs everything,
An inclusive warmth.

White is blinding
Black is blind

White is marriage
Yet
White is death

Black is protection
Yet
Black is death

Transition from life is peace
Peace is white
Yet
Rituals are black

Transition in life is chaotic
Chaotic is black
Yet
Ceremonies are white

Coal hardened to diamond
Black seasoned to white

Black is the reason for light
Black is the soul of white


Shouldn't white be black?
