Poem #7

Light and Dark (7)

Light and dark are two sides of a dime,
Each being alone and separate on its own,
Yet light hath more beauty and shine,
And darkness doth froth and foam.
Light, being as bright as the sun,
It hath more knowledge and good,
It hath more joy and happy fun,
And tries to make us happy as it can,
Dark, however, is where light is not,
It lurks in corners waiting,
It clouds the mind, and is cold,
It turns evil, gives hate,
And snuffs the breath of life,
Dark is the enemy of light,
As it always has been,
And always shall be,
As long as the earth lives and is.
