    She: Light, He: Dark

    2012

    In the dark, there is she
    She is the light
    In the light, there is he
    He is the dark
    Between the dark and the light
    There is we
    We the shade
    We the place that light and dark
    Has made

    Night falls, she rises like a star
    The dark welcomes she
    Day breaks, he rises like a path
    The light beckons he
    Sunset, she passes
    He flashes a smile
    Sunrise, he passes
    She blows a kiss

    Then into the void, steps she
    Against the voiceless silence
    She cries
    Amidst the heartless desert
    She dies
    So that others may speak
    Be heard
    So that others may breathe
    Be free

    Then into the sun, steps he
    Under the glaring brightness
    He sighs
    Beneath the blinding whiteness
    His guise
    So that others may shine
    Be seen
    So that others may see
    Be seers

    She, our light, our passion flame
    Sword of justice
    Cleansing fire
    Burning in the loveless night
    He, our dark, our musing cloak
    Pen of peril
    Choking ash
    Falling in the shameless day

    Where darkness be
    Let light become
    And there is she
    Where lightness be
    Let dark befall
    And there is he
    She: light, he: dark
    They pass, they touch
    Together, they make shade
    And that is how the world is made
