Conquest

By Steve Loggins

2/27/13

Light meets darkness and collides in space, 

a wind results rushing every place,

Overcome by photons and astrons  so bright, 

the darkness flees before the light.

Yet where no light is, darkness will reign, 

the shadow world claiming a majority frame.

A creeping change has taken place, 

a retreat of light in an increasing pace,

The shadow lands are growing large, 

and light condenses before the charge

Of stygian night with powerful force, 

threatening to snuff out the smoldering voice

Of right and wrong, of bad and good, 

we fail to see  what in light we once could.

Yet light condensed, a laser becomes, 

with pinpoint accuracy igniting the sun,

And light resumes in quickening speed, 

dispelling the darkness, revealing our need

For God.
