Light and Dark May Be One After All

Light seems to blind my eyes
Covering the space with sallow
Expanding beyond judgment
It moves infinitely, beyond my sense of callow

So visible to the naked eye
It comes in many forms- a light bulb or a lamp
Sometimes shining through a gamp

Light shines ubiquitously
Beyond human thought
It gives us a sense of time
Adding a small chime

The growth of light may seem ceaseless
But do any ends meet?
With a sense of day, there is night
Creating a ladder for humanity to climb

We all want to conquer life
Light can only help us grow
Inept and adept, the complete package
Tests our ability to resist wreckage

Darkness seems to blind my eyes
Covering the space with shadow
Expanding beyond judgment
It moves infinitely, beyond my sense of callow

It may seem evil, it may seem vile
But without darkness, we can’t dream
We have no choice, but to accept life
Go through the variations pried

So we discover, dark is not that rotter
If we accept the contradictions, we see no difference
In fact, light and dark seem to be one essence


The author's comments:
I love to write in my free time. For me, the idea of writing is to release all the emotions that have formed in me. Many times I come up with questions and emotions that seem very different so I just form them into words and poems. I also love to play sports and involve myself in school/leadership. School, daily experiences, and my own thoughts allow me to divulge into writing and completely express myself in those words.
