Light
its brilliant intensity
tempting and intimidating
sympathizing with burrowers
darkness heels the promises of light
a sort of comfort in being unseen
once fear of the unseen escapes you
besides
its only your imagination-
creating what has yet to manifest
irony, I suppose
imagination being this freedom
yet shackling you in this moment
the mind lives in a darkness more forgiving than light
because the shade may temporarily conquer truth
nurturing and then sheltering fairy tales
where exposure, it’s brutal reality
demands accountability
ignorance is..
shaded
