Solace in the Dark
i. eternal darkness
There will be no sun tomorrow
For one day it will be away
No rising, no shinning
It determines nothing, everything
Stay away for a day
Or awhile at least
As when you rise
There is a burden of expectation
shinning with might
determining everything, nothing
You are praised endlessly
Blinded believers!
Bright lights burn nothing, everything
The night is elusive,
exclusive
submissive
fortunately,
a reprieve from your misery, drudgery
Light is useless
when the dark provides solace.
ii. sunshine
Sun is coming through the window
Agony
At the speed of light
changing everything
conquering the night.
With might.
Evidently so
The night is hiding
Being elusive once again
exclusive, Only to those
who believe
or dare to anyway
In silent years we were taught to
look up to the sun
our eyes, minds shut
The sun with all its glory
missing something still
The light has fooled us all,
believing in a superfluous power
not seen but talked about
Possibilities- and the moon’s hypocrisy
Trust not the night
whose only friend is the Moon
Cheating others,
Borrowing light
Faith it inspires?
Hypocrite.
Seeking solace in the dark,
finding not
in the End.
