Out Brief Candle
Darkness enters,
and darkness
returns.
Disregard
the shadows.
Their presence fades
as the light wanes.
Confusion results
when light is granted
permanence.
It is the dark,
not the light,
that swallows you.
There is no escape.
Darkness always returns.
This is my response to Sue Vincent’s (Daily Echo) Thursday Photo Prompt – Green #writephoto, with her photo.

“Their presence fades
as the light wanes.”
This couplet says such a lot, Ken… and asks as many questions.

Definitely confusion without the balance of the dark. That circle, again (and always). (K)

I was thinking “cycles” as I wrote this, but, somehow, darkness came out on top.

Of course, that should be “we need,” but then we all need, don’t we. 😉

I like to think so, but then, for some, it doesn’t seem to happen.
