The power of darkness

Scars heal faster in the dark
but we were told to seek healing
in the glorious power of light!

What if angels live in the dark
& demons in the light?

What if the map- our guide-
our search in the direction of light
points towards the dark?

Why do we have to come
and go' in the dark?

Why is the key to
miraculous transformation
hidden in the dark?

I think the truth lies in the dark
& that is why it is hardly recognised.
But easier for those who have got used
to lying and being lied to, in the dark.

In the end, everything has a dead end
& all dead ends reside in the dark!
