The Brightness Between

Thoughts inspired by some friends of mine. I hope you enjoy it.

Between the light and darkness
The breath of life begins
The spirit stops and harkens
To the kindled flame within.

No bright and blazing glory
Though that draws the spirit on
No dark and dragging fury
Though that shackles them to wrong.

But breath on breath is taken
Between the two extremes
Though the brightness ever beckons
And the darkness ever screams.

But the truth of life presiding
O’er every trembling soul
Lives in whispers now residing
Between the rocky shoals.

The light brings hope to our striving
The darkness warning, yes and fear.
Yet, life is not in the arriving
But in the winding journey dear.

So when darkness looms yet o’er you
Turn your face towards the sun.
We walk the path it brightens
And live where day’s begun.
