In Darkness and Light

In darkness, I find solace. It hides my flaws and expressions. I can be myself under this veil. I don’t have to struggle with truths or uncomfortable silence. I am alone and at peace. I have created a complicated web. A bittersweet slice of realism I swallow to feel whole. Feeling and thoughts ebb, flow, and I am riding every moment diffident.

In light, I find warmth. It allows my mind to wander and lust. I can be myself under its heat. I open my arms and gather strength and awareness. I am alone and serene. My deception is simple. A ruse I have no desire to control. I traverse this path without ease but with purpose. I remain tranquil and will persevere.

darkness and light.

solace and warmth.

You expressed both in such beautiful terms.

Some people never find the clarity to appreciate either the darkness or the light. They go from day to day only seeing shades of grey.

Reading this post made me feel tranquil and at peace. Thank you for that.
