Darkness And Light Poem by RIC BASTASA

i would like to arrive not at the point
when darkness and light
chase and fight each other

when they grapple with who's right
and who's fit to survive
on the cycle of life

i like to arrive at the time when
they stop and arrive at a compromise
to live in peace together
not that the light stays on the right
not that darkness stays on the left

for that would still be divisive
i like them fuse into a certain hue
so pleasing to the eyes of all confused men

dusk, dawn, a dawning light, grey
the coolness of twilight, midway, between coming and departure

standing still, a gaze of the star and the coming of a new day.
