The Precipice
I am on an edge, a precipice.
One half of me is in Darkness,
The other half of me is in Light.
Which way should I go?
Should I stay in Darkness?
For surely we have spent
A lot of time together.
He is as familiar to me
As an old family friend.
But Darkness is never just
A friend is he? Oh he knows
what is in your heart but
He also plays on that fear.
Should I move to light?
He is new and therefore
He is something to fear.
He brings unknown dangers
And pleasures as well.
A part of me gets excited
About Light as the sweet
Feeling of Anticipation grows.
But Darkness calls to me
Like a Lovers sweet caress.
What shall I ever do?
Can I stay this way forever?
Half in Light and half in Darkness?
Must I choose so now?
On the Precipice I remain..........
