Contrast

All I ever knew was darkness, but when I looked into his eyes I saw the light. All it took was one look, one look had changed my life. He showed me the rising star, the star most giving. Its fierce glow allowing all souls to be forgiven. It shined upon a forgotten path, the one many had abandoned. So long ago when my soul was all but disburdened. It shined upon that which I left behind, but a path still remained. A path I never journeyed, a road waiting to be claimed. I had only just found the light, but the light was always there. He continues searching for those living in the dark, stripping us bare. Teaching us a world where all was open. Teaching us to cherish each and every moment. This man wanders into darkness, exposing our sight. This man roams the shadows, trying to understand our freight. All I ever knew was darkness, but now I know the light. But I shall continue to crawl in the night.
