I am darkness, I am light,
As I ponder on the night,
Hearing cries of those in pain,
Sights beheld beyond explain,
Seeking solace from within
I am darkness, I am light.

In pretend I’m erudite,
Justice feels not black nor white,
In daily touch of life’s disdain,
Sin’s bedeviling refrain,
Dries all tears, wears patience thin,
I am darkness, I am light.

I am darkness, I am light,
Never will one win the fight,
But goodness ever shall remain,
While I dream it’s coming reign,
As one struggles to obtain,
It is a fight I yearn we win,
I am darkness, I am light.

If you are darkness and you are light, then you must be gray! Sorry, I couldn't help myself.

It has been the struggle of man since the beginning of time, but from the poems of yours that I have read, you are most definitely more light!

Tim, brother poet:
You ARE the light that shines into the darkness...always illuminating the fair, and easily missed aspects.  Enjoyed so much this read. TD
