"Bless the darkness, for you would not exist ..."

Bless the darkness, for you would not exist
Without it. But you chase with flashlight
What seems so separate, poised to resist,
The eternal shadow forever in flight.

That's how a solo becomes a duet,
The incomplete finds itself faced with a kiss
Exactly equal to the force against it,
Thus to create new, beautiful conflicts,

And we who sit listening remember
The harmonious, what was complete before
The double, the stranger, came from charged air,

And we enter the darkest of frontiers
With nothing but joy, affection and tears,
As if we know now just how to get there.
