Darkness and Light

I’m caught between darkness and light

I look to the left and all there is

Is darkness

No life to sustain

Just complete blackness, as a void

I look to the right and all I see

Is light

A garden with all the delights of spring bloom

A gentle, flowing, brook, without interruption

If I could paint the blackness

I’d place the moon on the velvet backing

Then I’d sprinkle some stars

That sparkle,like diamonds with a myriad of color

If I could darken the light a bit or two

I would make it a golden glow that

Everyone would appreciate

I’m caught between darkness and light

To the left it’s black

To the right it’s white

With no shades of gray in the middle
