Couldn'T See the Forest For the Trees

If we let go for
a moment
 sparkling light
lures us to that 
other world
    We move 
closer to the source
and we find that 
it has disappeared
  Some kind of 
magic trick, I suppose
     Yet the lights 
on the other 
   side of 
the bay
      still shine
The exsistence of light
   is relative to the 
exsistence of darkness
   Can we watch the dance and join in?
   Or are we missing the forest for the 
trees?
