The Courtship
of Light
and Darkness



As the light pierces the darkness,
so does the darkness pierce the light

They do a beautiful dance each day,
one stepping forward then later stepping back

They give and take alike,
never one more than the other

The darkness surrenders to light,
then the light surrenders to darkness

They move in harmony as one,
in a dance forever locked together

They court each other with their song and dance,
always respectful of each others space

The darkness waits for the light,
to come and caress her face

Then the light waits for darkness,
so he can give into her embrace

Dancing together in an endless motion of flight,
they tease each other with caresses as the darkness
gives way to light

Astute observations....

Are you Wiccan? The poem can be interpreted to express the duality within oneself which Wiccans are most observant, (I think).

Wiccans are most observant about these things, true... but mystics are more so. And by mystics, I mean *curandeiros* (or as it spelled where I come from, curadors... and curadeiras too!).
One can only see the Truth - or glance at it briefly - when attuned to the Spiritual... and not merely Nature and old myths.

Christianity without Spirituality has the same problem though...

One has to detach oneself from the material plane - whether it is the great outdoors and resplendence of it all... or the consecrated confines of a church... to achieve Enlightenment... and effectively pierce the darkness indeed.

Darkness will also pierce the Light - true.

It is all in the Order of Things - for now.

Fine poetry, Countess
Bravo! :)
