darkness and light.
do we flee from the darkness
to embrace the light
or do we wrestle with the darkness
whilst we see the light?
the darkness is in us all.
we try to ignore it,
putting it behind us
pretending it isn't there.
But the darkness is alluring,
it is angry,
it is selfish and self seeking,
it is our flesh and our blood,
our minds and our souls.
The light calls us
to face our darkness
with unabashed honesty
for only them can we
escape the tentacles of guilt
that drive us into isolation,
hiding from the light
and our true selves.
