the darkness doesn't shine within you.

impossible.
it smothers,
sometimes so delicate and lightly with skilled seduction

it conditions you for its welcome
sometimes forceful and passionately dark,

 like the night and fears wrapped into one cloak

it forces you homelike into the darkness

where the peace is only a temporary ruse

manipulation to ready you for your deathly dangle

again and again.
sometimes it appears helpless

 and calls you in with longing and pain-filled eyes.

it prays upon your light

and draws it out of you good-natureldly

and makes you feel needed,

promising to love the light...
but oh, the smothering is the most cunning of all these things,
learning to breathe with light is not an easy thing,
you must learn wise and sacrifice for together these are
powerful things.
what glitters is the cold
what shines is the soul
what covers is the darkness
what opens is the light
anyone clothed in darkness is only one thought away from light
and that is that they must deny the power of the dark

 as it is no match for the holy light.

a soul is not permitted to stay too long in one or the other,
that's why the sun and the moon were made

and each disappear behind a shroud, here and other,

 to make you understand how it is that love and hate go around,
for one must contrast the other
each as capable but none is sustainable.
so thus measure your darkness with the balance of light
and enjoy the strength you gain in the fight
may you endeavour in the end to not let the other win
and then may your soul take flight,
a higher journey is always in touch or in sight!
