Darkness

Darkness

binding

lost.

blind

trapped

Find the light

Live for the light

Die for the light

Stay in the light

Where all can be seen

Stay away from the dark.

Where it is easy to get lost

Don't leave the light.

But light creates shadows,

Shadows create darkness

And you can't stay in the light

Forever.

Stare the darkness head on.

Look at it, in its eye.

Take a deep breath

And

Step into the darkness.

Embrace the darkness.

Love the darkness.

For there is darkness in light,

And light in darkness.

One can learn to live in both.
