In Darkness (by Deathwalker)

Just an idea that I had... this poem can be taken many different ways; literally, symbolically, and metaphorically.

In Darkness
Why is it you fear the night,

And the sleeping of the sun?

Why is it you love the light?

Do you fear the darkness for

It's dark ghosts and mysteries?

Is this why you love light more?

In darkness I find

A peace in my mind.

I abhor the sunbeam's lash

And turn from the light's harsh flash.

In the dark, blind night I see

Not dark ghosts nor mysteries,

But quiet tranquility.

The darkness makes me stronger,

For when you're closer to light,

Your shadow becomes longer.
