The Darker Light

Darkness isn't just dark

It's the light that burns you

The time that you walk into hope

And fall into despair

The light at the end of the tunnel

Only to switch off once you get there

The beauty of a candle

With its vulnerable flicker

Its hidden heat, remove your hand quick!

If you glare at the sun for too long

You go blind, the light is your demise

It is not only the darkness one must fear

If anything the darkness won't disappoint us

We know what to expect, we expect scary encounters

It's the light that's the most treacherous of all

Leading us to glory, that leads to our fall.

About the Creator

Sheara Kerry

A daydreamer, mind wondering, thoughts pondering, like the ondulation in the ocean. I doodled, and wrote, pages with a thousand notes. My dreams like sci-fi movies, where the lines of reality and imagination blurr into imPOSSIBLE things.
