The Light and The Darkness

A bridge crossing two buildings
People cross without a thought
Amongst the daily groups, one man stops
To think of where his life will go

A single brilliant beam of light
Assaults the bridge on it's west side
The east side casts a shadow
That has crept in throughout the day

The man sits down to scratch his head
On a bench all else ignore
He sits as though time does not exist
Until the darkness comes his way

After time has come to pass
The man no longer sits to think
Only light now takes his place
But the shadow is close behind

If one looks down the path he took
Both light and dark are found
For they wage a fight eternal
That can never cease to be

For one cannot be without it's twin
It is the curse of light and dark
But the bridge of life will never fall
No matter the path that is chosen
