Darkness In the Light

In the dark of the night, a blink of a light can be seen The light becomes brighter as one travels towards it Light soon encompasses and brightness is all that is seen One becomes the pursued and cannot escape false brightness that devours the soul The light becomes so bright as to burn and scorch causing blindness The darkness then becomes an eternal refuge where the false light cannot traverse

Deep and worrisome about "false" light. But well expressed. Welcome to PS.

Often light is far too bright, and darkness brings peace, and yes, as metaphor it's wonderful too. Well written, and welcome to PoetrySoup :)
