Poem: What Lurks Behind the Sun
What lurks behind the sun
after all there cannot be light
without shadow.
The seen without the unseen.
Two sides of the same coin
They cannot be separated.
Yet people accept one
and deny the other.
Day follows night
and such is the law of nature
it has always been this way
and no one questions it.
Waves ebb and flow
the tide comes in, encroaching
then drains out, retreating
only to surge through again.
What makes the darkness evil?
Is it the unknown, the uncertainty?
Surely the brightness of light
illuminates all to be known.
But the light can't reach everywhere.
It cannot reveal everything
which is why the darkness
hides behind the sun.
