Peering Through the Cobwebs

[A/N: response to denise's poem about black and white and stuff ]

When given a choice between darkness and light, you weigh an unseen scale.
Light on one side, dark on the other, you don't know which will prevail.
There's only two choices, there's no in between, you must pick, but how do you choose?
You see the light but you feel the dark, and you think, what have you got to lose?

Maybe, perhaps, if you take a step back, your vision will start to shift.
A dot here, a blot there, what is that blur? and suddenly you are adrift
On a sea of gray, silver in shine, with not a moor in sight.
You're lost, confused, and fearful in this world that's not black, yet not white.

You don't understand, but that's alright. No one truly sees
That black is not black, and white is not white; you make it whatever you please.
The dark is only dark if you let it veil your eyes, just like the light can blind your view,
And when you stumble, when you fall, we'll always be there, ready to catch you.

-Sophia
