Thanks To the Darkness
Thought I saw the sun.
Felt it's warmth through to my bones.
Radiance divine.
The shine brightened up my world.
It's easy to forget
while in its rays you lie
that the same sun that you thrive on
leaves you burned and blinds your eyes.
It seems you need the darkness
to make you realize
that its time to look away
before the damage multiplies.
Once the darkness falls
and smothers out most of that light
your vision takes a new perspective.
Blinded eyes again have sight.
We must thank the darkness
for allowing us to see.
If we only had the Sun,
blinded fools we all would be.
