Light Leaves Dark

Light floats over form and face
         Tracing the lines of existence-
Coalescing into a shower of specks that
         Sets and runs smoothly towards
The darkening slate of Earth-
 
                                               It breaks free-
 
Leaving all Enmity behind, Light
         Lowers itself from the plane of sight-
An intimate display- gold and maroon and deep violet
         Make love- swirling and levitating, making
Sure their neighbors- everyone- can see.
 
What a thoughtful gesture- before abandoning the
         World to its polar Darkness.
