#17 of Poetry

The contrast and comparison of the light and darkness in life, and how they melt into each other to where you cannot have one without the other.

_Light and Dark_

1. Light

The sun shining bright   
Upon the broken window   
Fire burning light   
Eating away the corpse   
Bulbs shed truth   
Revealing all secrets   
Innocence and hope   
Or anger and doubt?   
Light reveals itself   
Upon shattered truth   
Truth the exposed death

Is it better to reveal   
Better to hide, conceal   
Better to shine the light   
Or snuff it out   
Swallowing the Darkness.

2. Dark

Pitch black   
No white   
Not a crack   
Absent light

Hide the truth   
Forsaken youth   
Death escape   
Obscure shape

What is hidden   
Sight is blind   
Where is truth   
Of any kind

Darkness presses in   
Sounds shall cringe   
Muffled light   
Penned in

How to reveal   
Help what's hidden   
Forget the night   
Confessing the Light.
