Light n Dark- an ode to Darkness

Blackout! Darkness all about!
Eyes covered by a dense clout!
Darkness emanating from within
reflected on the eyes without!

Bright radiating darkness
with its blistering energy
piercing through mind, body, soul
Ah! the dark! sometimes a marble,
sometimes a coal.

A flickering light, feeble and cold
touches me for a moment too brief,
Nourishing my spirit with it enchanting form
Dispelling the darkness quick as a thunderstorm

Then, realized I, that all along
I was swathed in light,
But it took utter dark,
to know what is moon on a dark night
