Darkness can be the opaque blackened sky. <br /> Or the way we feel when we have told many lies. <br /> Allowing the darkness to overtake our dreams. <br /> We can't obtain the light found within our souls, it seems. <br /> Dying in darkness we can lose our existence. <br /> Embracing the light may increase our resistance. <br /> The darkness may be the evil within. <br /> The light of the world may guide us from sin.<br /><br />Rose Ann Haeussler<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/embracing-the-light/
