Hoping

Vast darkness, hoping for a light to frighten the creatures in it. Hoping for a new sense of purpose, hoping that in a new light people will see it as a beauty and not a frightening aspect of the world. Light will bring in opportunities for things in the darkness so they can grow. A tree could grow in the darkness, or the flowers will bloom and bring a smile to peoples faces. The darkness can only hope that light will one day come and bring down the veil between the darkness and the world, if only for a split second. The darkness can only hope that it will grow once it finds its light and shed its unwantedness. A blinding light, hoping for a darkness. A darkness that will allow people to look at the light and not shy away from its blinding rays. The light hoping for some closure, hoping to not be avoided and to be able to be recognized for its beauty and not the pain that it can bring if not properly witnessed. Hoping the darkness could co-exist with the light and be marveled at together. Light without darkness can be blinding and darkness without light can be consuming.
