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!
