Light and Dark

The light receded into darkness,
making the shadows grow.

Giving way to the fear
of the blackness below.

The deep, dark night slowly rose,
making it hard to breathe.

Gasping for air, the light gave in
letting the darkness heed.

At the striking of the midnight hour,
the shadow fell into place.

The quietness of the shadows
made the light give it's space.

As the hours rolled on, the dark gave in
allowing the light to breathe.

The light peeked out of the shadows
where it took it's final heed.
