Between the light the darkness dances
Teasing glowing ebbs of thought
Shifting to the edges of revalations
Betraying subtle workings of morality.

Softly influencing choices made
Pursuing naught but a challenge
Taunting the light with whispers of song
The light so silent and still.

Behind the light the shadows play
Fulfilling dreams of desire
Secretly knowing the heartstrings by touch
Serving the mind's subconscious.

So when the light fails our hopes
The delicate waver blown out
All that's left was always there
The music and the dark.
