Flash Fiction #175 – The Light of Darkness

Darkness sighed.

Independence from everything was grand,

but an eternity of it felt a tad too long.

It coveted the warm rays of its sibling, Light.

Away from Light’s all-seeing eyes,

it dabbled with its own radiance.

The cold, dark void, where nothing had been,

started to burn.

​

Darkness joined the everything.

Oh, to be one with the all!

It moved to embrace its sibling,

but where it had burned was nothing.

​

And so the paternal twins cycle through infinity,

forgetting and remembering,

experiencing two ends of the same truth.
