Nesta era em que quase tudo parece explicado, desconstruído e descodificado, ainda haverá coisas que nos fascinam, como o
ESCURO
Assusta-nos. Aos mais corajosos. Porque não sabemos o que nele se esconde. Porque ficamos privados de um dos sentidos mais importantes - a visão, e do sentido de orientação.
No escuro vivem todos os monstros, todos os papões, todos os maus da fita, todos os fantasmas e almas penadas que a nossa imaginação é capaz de engendrar.
Por vezes, na maioria das vezes, com efeito, o escuro cresce apenas no interior da nossa mente que, assim privada de coordenadas, é capaz de criar histórias, seres e universos de uma complexidade, essa sim, assombrosa.
Mas o escuro também é sinistro por si só - o escuro dos cemitérios, do fundo do mar, das grutas, dos castelos, dos calabouços, da ignorância.
E basta um pequeno gesto para todo o fascínio desaparecer - acender a luz!
Leonard Cohen descreveu-o assim:
I caught the darkness, it was drinking from your cup
I caught the darkness drinking from your cup
I said is this contagious?
You said just drink it up.
I said is this contagious
She said just drink it up
I got no future,
I know my days are few
The presence not the pleasant
Just a lot of things to do
I thought the past would last me
But the darkness got that too
I shoulda seen it coming
It was right behind your eyes
You were young ant it was summer
I just had to take a dive
When I knew was easy, the darkness was the price.
I don't smoke no cigarette, I don't drink no alcohol
I ain't had much loving yet
But that's always been your call
Hey I don't miss it baby
I got no taste for anything at all
I used to love the rainbow
And I used to love the view
Another early morning, I'd pretend that it was you
But I caught the darkness baby
And I got it worse than you
I caught the darkness, it was drinking from your cup
I caught the darkness drinking from your cup
I said is this contagious?
You said just drink it up
