Caught in Between

 

Shadows cast by the sun are the silhouettes of life

their darkness conceals that which only the soul knows

Uncertainity as a veil obscures light and hope

clouds are dispelled to bear witness to horror

The light breathes a love, a passion, a zest for life

momentarily all seems well and bright

Then darkness creeps insidiously in to bring disquiet

to dampen ardour, to pave a haunting dark trajectory

So we vacillate between these celestial rivals

caught with no means of escape

at the mercy of other forces

Darkness invades the light of day to distort its serenity

the heat of the light burns through to revive wounded souls

Left in a world oft surrounded by pain and evil

we pursue a quest for an indestructible light

It is the source of this light we seek as a magnet of mercy and love

to liberate the soul from the power of obscurity 

and its destructive power
