Black and White
Darkness never proffered the pure pleasure of the sun
Its predatory prescient presence was never any fun
The light of reason helps to show a way to live the night
To guide the steps a man must take to wake in dawning light
To sleep to dream to plan to live to love to work to build
A stair of turning upward steps till darkness is revealed
As nothing more than simply lack of light
