In the darkness I saw light
Neon, bright, and frantic
Oh what a joy, what a sham
Life was an endless parade
Flickering lights in carrousel
In the darkness I saw light
I heard the rumble, all noise no substance
The flashes revealing the snapshots
Of flesh, of life, of lies
Today is dark, and quiet
For the first time, no light
The faint smell of nature is in the air
I inhale, and pause, Is it light or dark?
From within I murmur...
It is light in the darkness
What a sweet reprieve to know
That dark is light and light is dark
For the heart can only see
In the quiet of darkness, in the plain of light
In the smell of nature, and the simple sound
As clarity cannot exist without the contrast of light and dark
