Darkness and Light

Darkness and Light

The crown of darkness enveloped the sky’s canopy…
its face hidden with delight
as if never to be discovered

Ahhhhh…creeping in
like a match to a wick
a light tore the
velvet blanket of black hues

For a moment the two
jostled poking an elbow
here and there
attempting to make room…

Then suddenly they both
grasped the magic almost
instinctively

Their colors blended
casting shadows too brilliant
to erase

Their ‘joining’
rid distinct lines of
separation, boundaries, divisions~~~

While they understood
their own uniqueness
they embraced their oneness

The light shines because
of the darkness
and the darkness gives way
for the light’s truest manifestations

Shadows subtract
the lines drawn
in the sand
