Sunbeams embrace your fickle soul,
a breath of fresh air,
a burst of fresh light.
An honest breeze tickles your nerves,
releasing their tension,
unleashing their weight.
A fervent spirit overtakes your being,
calming your cares,
reassuring your bones.
The darkness rattles inside you,
caged as an animal,
confined by your ribs.
He beats like a drumming madman,
eager to break you,
to squelch the light.
She fiendishly grates at your insides,
screaming like torture,
yet silent as death.
You feel the clashing of forces,
light from without,
dark from within.
You step outside of your borrowed skin,
watching the war,
awaiting the victor.
Darkness hurls its entirety at light,
expecting to triumph,
to overwhelm their foe.
Yet the light just inhales to breathe them in,
swallowing the darkness,
absorbing them whole.
A brilliant flash envelops your presence,
infusing you with energy,
granting you with vigor.
An explosion wells within you,
a fullness unfathomed,
a beauty unbegotten.
The darkness will no longer be found,
for they could not
overcome
the light.
