Light is funny that way
you see,
Darkness flees at its sight,
Its gleam reveals things hidden with all man’s might,
But in gluttony it yields another blindness.
Thus to live in darkness is to have acquired
A keener vision of things most inquired
Retreat therefore,
From the flashing lights,
Into the still quiet darkness–
awaiting sight’s completion.
Away from that place with all that radiance,
That place where everyone pretends to see
