CREDENCE AND CASCADE

CREDENCE AND CASCADE

I am beside you in the current, of the peaceful river, a time to glide along in the quiet flow, you search my face for answers, in the quiet still of the river, but below us the rapids beckon, and the waterfall beyond, soon i will be swept from you, by more rapid flowing water, out over the waterfall, and gone.

How i wish i could float with you, in your arms forever, along our peaceful river, to bob, and splash, and play like lovers do, tumbling, and diving in and out of each others soul, creating our own currents, and waterfalls in our hearts, but i glide upon rippled water, which masks from you the darkness of my heart, for you are light, and i am darkness, can there be stillness, in our river, or will we forever create credence, and cascade.

I feel the pull of the current get stronger, the rapids beckon below me, and the waterfall beyond, save yourself my love, swim away from me to calmer waters, i am the darkness, and will always be the rapids, and the waterfall, you are the light, and meant for calm waters, and stilled pools, swim away from me my love, save yourself, do not grasp me, or you are lost.

I LOVE THE TIMELESS STRUGGLE BETWEEN LIGHT, AND DARK, GOOD AND EVIL, HEAVEN AND HELL. WE ALL ARE PART OF THIS TIMELESS MIX, AND WE ALL HAVE GOOD, AND BAD IN US, IN DIFFERING MEASURE.

Ben999, glad not 666 A wonderful way to write the struggles of good and evil, I do believe good and evil are exact forces on this earth and in history we can see times when the evil has won, and that is not even touching on our own personals struggles. Enjoyed the readinghandshake
ben999
thanks redex, if you urn the ben upside down it reads 666 neb, who neb was you dont want to know, so maybe im darker than you think, they don't call me the dark angel, for nothing.

Hi, ben999,
Enjoyed the read...tumbling, and diving in and out of each others soul out of the darkness into the light.

GNJ4U or the light into the darkness, as in some cases, it reads both ways, hence the mixed currents, ben

thanks jeddah, men have hearts too, they don't apply them very well sometimes that's all.comfort ('handshake');
ben999
thank you, galaxy i5, but the darkness soaks up the white light, infinitely better, its far easier, to make a good person bad, than a bad person good, infinitely.('head banger');

Dreamers will awaken - one day you will wake...

from the shadows galaxy, you see all shades of light, some dreamers dream eternally blinded by light, they never awaken, to appreciate any dream.('devil');

Ricochette, its a blast all right, aint that a fact.

would you succumb to the darkness of the waterfall instead of the calm touch of a light soul? and why? the tempest of the 2 meeting (twain! lol!) can last a lifetime...grey is a beautiful color, just ask a painter.
it's a thoughtful piece ben, thank you for sharing.
ben999
thank you gashly, dark is my colour in all things, i would take the grey, and colour it black, to answer you.
