Guilding Light

Shall we dwell in the darkness or bathe in the light,
How will we know which path is right?
To please your sences ,If only for a day 
what a terrible price some are willing to pay.
For some the pleasure comes easy 
and everyone seems to agree 
what a wonderful person this one shall be.
But for others pleasure definitley has a price
and nothing good could come from their advice.
For this is the darkness where no one should dwell
the only thing it leads to is the eternal gate of hell.
So remember to bathe in the light 
and keep this darkness out of your sight.
Let your pleasure come easy and one day 
you will see you are on the path you are suppose 
to be.

I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist,and I’d love to discuss the possibility of bringing this poem to life if you're ever interested. Feel free to reach out at gm@il : [email protected]
