The Empty Soul

Loneliness creeps in, silence fills the air

as no movement is to be seen.

There was once life in this dark and lonely place,

but that life has gone long ago to the darkness of death.

A black void is left behind,

but there is one light that is good, that cannot be touched

or sullied or tainted.

Yes, this light must be protected, nothing can stand in the way.

This light is hope, is freedom, is truth

while the dark is corrupt, is bad, is terrifying.

One cannot simply live in darkness, but also light

one cannot simply live in light, but also darkness

There is a balance that must be upheld,

so keep the light in the darkness.

It is what keeps us alive
