Dialogue between darkness and a traveler in search of "Light". |
2<1 "Presence Persistent Shade cast forth Darkness facing south Dare I head north?" "Weary traveler, you're trekking in vein As Tormentor, I persist again." "An undesired union this shall be What is your opinion, why persist me?" "Journeyman, I watch you flee with all your might Seeking Sun against the night Hoping that its rays will purge Desires of darkness and every urge Wisdom is not mine, yet I possess perfect sight What you fail to get, is you are only half the Light All that persist, is all that remains The very darkness you resist, is in part what you contain All in all are thee A portion seeking Sun The rest finding me A fraction of you I repel A ration of you I attract A dole of you yielding A cut fighting back We all seek what is of the like It's why you journey for the Light Why I trail close, behind Only seeking what is like mine Your half pursues a holy Light The other is prey for solely night" "Lo, Tormentor! In disguise You are no mentor, but a guise! If half is what you hunt, that half will have to go I'd rather journey half the man, than with you in tow If All in all are we May all that is Light Accept all of me As less, but one I come No longer persisting As the two No longer divided No longer subdued Never part seeking What is not you And if I ever For darkness lust Let the Light remind me Why it is In it I trust" |
