He Is To Dark As He Is To Light

he is to dark as he is to light

within the light he is anchor
dark and solid 
onyx shine of silver
to which all magic comes. 
steps large in grace
his leaps profound 
as to carry him beyond 
our comprehension.

within the dark he is a flame
light and whimsical to dare
the shadows round about.
his flickering frame
beguiles the lightless world
calls all spirits there to dance
causing riot through the space
his laughter goes before.  


To Darren and the dancer in his soul.

This is beautiful Patricia :) It makes me smile, Love the juxtaposition of dark and light, and the characterisation of both.
