Light And Shadow

Light and Shadow

Sunshine and night are both a part of life. Life of the soul or mind
Reflections, projections, hmm, and contrasts. All blade. Sharp
All are blades. All of them. Fear and happiness in life

Both of them are life. Lives. But feeling, the emotions, and worldviews
Where is a better life? I don’t know. Dancing in the dark? Or cry?
Funeral mass in the light? Or a happy wedding in the dark?

Light and shadow. Hmm. Need both. Or we have no drama. No more
Yes. This is the reality. We are enjoying the love and suffering. Together
Tragedy, drama, horror. These are human lives. This is the human life

Why can’t people always live in the light?
“Because they love my light”, said Satan.

Why can’t people always live in the dark?
“Because they love my light”, said Satan.

Hmm. I understand now. Dark gives the pepper and salt to life. For living.
“Yes. But the dark is light.” Said Satan. “There is no taste without my light
in your life.” Continued Satan.

Enjoy your life
This is my message to you

Yours sincerely,
Shadow of light

Dark
Light

Light
Dark?
