Writing in The Dark

Darkness in The Distance

By Keith McHughPublished about a year ago 1 min read
"Pounce" 12x12 acrylic by; Keith McHugh

A small light shines,

Behind timid eyes,

Unaware of what lies,

Life is a surprise.

As it shines,

It illuminates the line,

Revealing a dark-side,

Unaware of the ride.

We don't have to decide,

When used as a guide,

Light creates the divide.

Growing brighter as it shines,

It climbs higher,

Darkness cannot hide,

When a small light shines.

Exposing lessons from the divine,

Dark fighting the whole time,

Dimming the light inside,

You'll be tried and tried,

Denied as you shine.

A divine inheritance,

Catching a glance of the dance,

Keeping darkness at a distance,

Holding its stance.
