It's Only the Dark

People fear the dark,

I must ask why.

It hides those frightening things.

Light, the symbol of good,

It allows us to see.

Yet when we are scared,

We close our eyes.

Suddenly darkness provides comfort.

Light and dark.

Yin and yang.

Different and yet the same.

Light shows,

Dark hides.

We fear what we see,

We fear what we don't.
