light and dark

seekers of light
we turn our backs to
the darkness

pretend it doesn’t exist
admire the shiny lights
the baubles that twinkle

call loudly to us ” look at me”
and we can not hear the
whispers of nightly struggles

bright star lures us closer
warms our cold hearts until
we turn to embrace those who

live in the shadows

  1. The good thing is that we embraced those living in the shadows. Seems like we always need the push whether from a shiny object (the attraction) or suffering to move us into action.
