The Edge between Light and Darkness

Standing on the edge

between light and darkness.

Looking back into the darkness.

Then looking forward into the light.

Afraid to go forward

into future.

Frightened to go backwards

into the past.

Looking back you see

all the pain, hurt, and sorrow

that you have caused

and gone through.

But looking forward you see

the choices, the chances, and the unknown

that you must go through.

Looking back towards the darkness

and then loking foward towards the light

you wonder should you stay with the past

that you know

or should you change with the future.

Now you must take your step

the only question is

does the light stay light?

Or doe the light change into darkness?

Very powerful. The first line gets you thinking about what all it implies. a chice or a dellimma. it creatyes a very interesting picture in the mind. the last lines summerise and pose a question, is one chice better than the other or not. it leaves room for hope and doubt at the same time. freeverse seems to work well for it.

I like it. keep up the good work
