Chiaroscuro

Lurching out of the door into darkness 
A street full of people, bodies pass n collide

Plunging from dark to light!

Not looking at or thinking of what is done
Northern winds carrying the rush of ice come

The harsh, brutal fire seers against my flesh
The uncertainty of fate, the passage of sorrow

Plunging from dark to light!

All images rushing fast, merging, subsiding
My thoughts, daring to push n pull past yesterday

The coming rain echoes, the liquid stings my eyes
It hits my mind, I feel the blast of imagery

Plunging from dark to light!

Lurching out of the door into darkness 
A street full of people, bodies pass n collide

Plunging from dark to light!
