The Darkening Light

Light lights the darkness 
 And in turn the darkness darkens the light
A battle rages on
Seemingly never to stop

Who will rule the time?
 For darkness rules the night
And light fights through the day
No! Light rules both night and day
Aha! Look at the moon- its light but shines in the night

It shines through the rays of tender hearts
With the wind whispering destruction
As trees and braches shake off
Paying witness to our lost intellect

You seek warmth in the solace of the wild
And find excitement in our lost wisdom
The moon and the stars shine
Leading us to our desolation
Clear paths lead us
Down the sweet sour pavement

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
