THE LIGHT AND THE DARK
There
is a light and dark side
To all
of us
A
light that shines outwards
Externally
So
obvious
So
clear
So
bright
So
apparent
So noticeable
Unmistakably
Unique
It is the light that we show to
others
Our mothers
Fathers
Brothers
Sisters
And friends
Behind all the light
There is a darkness that cannot be
seen
The one that can mean
All is not ok
The feeling of despair
Nobody cares
We hide in the shadows
The gloom
The doom
Here in a darkened room
Feeling the blackness
Reflecting
Dejected
Disheartened
Depressed
Disappointed
With life and things
A disenchanted
Disillusioned world
Seemingly black
Like a fog that won’t budge
Dislodge
Remove it from
Mind, body and spirit
And this soul
There is a part that needs to reconcile
Settle
Reunite
Resolve
Merge
With the light and the dark
A balance is needed
Required
Equilibrium
Poise
Stability
Reconciling
The light and the dark
As one
With oneself
