Nether World Neither World

I move between the dark and light
a visitor; a guest at best

Each holds a part, a piece of mind 
that keep me from the rest

Forsaking dark,  
the gloomy state
I want this, yet it has a hold
that brings a comfort, even cold
I feel I cannot pass that test

The light that warms
can also blind,
that comfort comes 
with loss of sight
seems crueler than blessed

The nether world is neither then,
not of darkness, nor of light
it sits between those places where
there's cool comfort and yet, sight
