DARK & LIGHT

"...behind a smiling providence...i hide a frowning face..."

there is

a darkness

inside

the light

within

the space

it now

occupies.

it is

unseen by

the naked

mind

but felt

in each

glimmer

each shimmer

each trimmer

of fading light.

Maybe

the light

hides

the darkness

right?

but why

the softest

light

is so often

surrounded

by darkness?

Whilst

the strongest

fights

a lost

and losing

plight

to an

all-consuming

night?

assume

there

can be

no sight

without

the dark

of light.

assume

its more

than just

a fact

of life.

the view

seen

from behind

the lines

between which

poets write.

very good job with this poem, the only advice I have to you is to condense it into fewer lines, having it the way you do makes it a more tedious read, your work is amazing, but people like things better when they are nice and short, anyways, amazing job on this piece, especially liked the idea of darkness in light and light in darkness

Some good questions arise from reading this poem. Different between darkness and light can be the way the person look at their life. A Poet's view is always optional. He see what he feels. Thank you for the excellent poem. This is the kind of poem that be discussed for hours.
