light and darkness
two who embrace
inseparable
knowing no end
darkness teaches patience
in ways light cannot
while light waits silently
to lead us onward
like the night that falls
testing how long
we’ll hold on
until morning
for somewhere beyond
a faint hope lingers
like the first glint of dawn
waiting to bloom
life’s meaning lingers
in the struggle itself
in every step
each quiet burden
dark and bright
bitter and sweet
they paint us
they are our story
the truest obstacle
a silent teacher
so we rise
steadier than before
and light will come
softly guiding the way
toward all we dream
