How can light take so many forms?
\nGrowing greens beneath our feet,
\ntanning or burning our skin,
\ncasting shadows that grow as the evening stretches onward.
\nAnd there’s always the saying, ‘without light there is no darkness’ and vice versa.
\nAs equals though,
\nwhy is it that one can seem so much more powerful than the other?
\nWhen you step outside, and your eyes are blinded by the glare.
\nOr when you’re in your room at night,
\nand the darkness appears to creep towards you in tendrils,
\nreaching for your exposed heart and soul,
\nwaiting for the opportunity to crush you into dust.
\nBut with the flick of a switch,
\nthose demons in the corners of your eyes can disappear in an illuminating flash.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
