Light and Darkness

Light and Darkness

Have you ever paused to ponder
Why the creator in his wisdom
Made death the only doorway
Leading to the Heavenly Kingdom?
Have you ever paused to ponder
Why the creator by his order
Separated the endless darkness
To give the world twelve hours of light
And twelve hours of dreadful night?
Don't you know He could make it all light?
You could ask: do we really need the night?
As we continued seeking answers
To these and other questions like them
Let's concede to the concession
That neither of light nor darkness
Can exist exclusively anytime, anywhere
So, light your kindle for light
And protect it against the forces of night.

My thoughts are that we had to have a visual manifestation, idea of light and darkness, and that to feel the awful and unrelenting separation of a loved one is to feel only an iota of the separation from God. God is merciful and full of grace. He created us, gives us free will and offers everything if we only embrace Him.
