Dark

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!"
