Light & Dark

"No matter how fast light travels, it finds the darkness has always got there first, and is waiting for it..." - Terry Pratchett

"Did you ever consider that maybe,
I flee from your sight
not because I am afraid
or hurt by you,
but because you are beautiful
to me and...
I do not wish to smother your radiance?" - Darkness to Light

Author's Note

Darkness to Light, concerning why it is always waiting at Light's edge, so close, but never quite together.
