You love the day, worship the light. <br />You mourn the setting of the sun, hide from the night. <br />I? <br />I curse the light of day, though most would praise and cheer. <br />I say if there were no light, the dark would hold no fear. <br />How would we feel about the dark if the harsh bright sun had never shone? <br />We would not wish for light! <br />For we would know the dark, alone. <br />It is the harsh, stark light of day which makes the dark of night seem cold. <br />Dark is bad and light is good, or so I have been told. <br />But without the dark, what would be the light? <br />What would a day mean, if we had no night?<br /><br />Lynda Remus<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/darkness-and-daylight/
