I am the Light
and
the Darkness.
I encompass both
and many nuances in-between.
Little miss Sunshine? Ha! Not quite.
That’s not my description.
(Chin up, Buttercup: you’ll make it through the black.)
You see me radiant,
and you want the light.
Always the light.
Only the light.
But to know me you must know both.
And to have me you must accept both.
For the darkness, though difficult, is equally rewarding —
a promise I do not make lightly.
Listen to the sounds of the night. Become one with them.
Embrace your own darkness
and you can begin to embrace me
and mine.
Only then can you truly see my blaze
and become one with it.
It is always darkest before the dawn.
But
I am the Dawn.
