Interdependence

Darkness: defined by the absence of Light

Light: reciprocally, contingently bound

Manifest healing in quiet of night

Lost to the dark, in the Light, sight is found.

Nurture, reflect, move at the speed of trust

Knowing, leading, projecting the right path

Shut-out, undefined, somehow must adjust

Taking the reins and receiving the wrath.

Cut open holes to be out-shown by stars

User, arson, narcissist, hysteric.

Burn away essence, leaving only scars

Dampening flame; extinguishing merit

Destiny decreed forever for them

Interdependent. Alone in tandem.
