Night Canal

are you the glimmer of light, or the darkness?

I'm the tree
neither light nor dark.
but
growing out of the darkness
towards the light

which are you?

I was the dead tree, just down from yours, but the light got through, a chink, just in time

‘As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human existence
is to kindle a light in the darkness of mere being’
Carl Jung

Actually I think i'm a seed floating along the canal, hoping to drift upon some soil, and unfortunately i've ended up in the ocean, somehow.

the ocean is a wonderful place to hear echoes.

why have you ended up there?

did someone forget to close the canal gates, and set you adrift?

The top pic is very nice.
