Dark
Listen to poem:
Darkness lurks furtive in shadows
That scan the daylight hours
Like searchlights looking for
A place like a cave, an umbrella or hole,
In which to seep, gloat and ponder
Upon the coming of the night.
When all will be dark and shadowy again.
For darkness and night are
Merely forlorn fleeting shadows,
Persistent in their non-existence.
For darkness only exists
when light is shaded away or excluded,
Such as on the dark side of the moon or earth
Or elsewhere in the lighted universe's shadows.
For the light supplanted the reign of darkness
after the big bang,
or after some enlightened being,
expounded: "Let there be light!"
