Unless You Want Night To Power Day.. Poem by Baru Gobira

Unless you want night to power day..

Hide not behind light
Lest you become one with shadows
Cast not the parchment's dust
Unless you’ve imbibed the musty air.

Move not the pebbles
Lest they roll down a mountainside
Cast not the seeds of doubt
Unless to stop the mountain slide.

Maim not the mind
Lest you become the wearer of the mask
Cast not the paintbrush
Unless flames ignite passion’s flask.

Friend let the light play with shadows
Lest gray become color of day
Cast your net wide O soul-mate
Unless you want night to power day..
