Once There Was Darkness Poem by RIC BASTASA

once there was darkness
that is the beginning of it all
actually.

And we did not like it really
and so we prayed for
light and Light was given
as asked.

And then we embrace dark
ness again as we get blinded
with so much light.

We shift between two states.
We know how is it to be blind
We know how is it to see.

In both states we see what the
other cannot singlehandedly
offer.

At the end, we find all of them
to be one. In unity. Then we
think we understand.
