A Dark Side

You asked
if I had
a dark side.

Most of my life
has been lived
on the dark side.

But I always
believed in the power
and cosmic beauty
of solar energy
radiant vibrant stellar
life giving light.

You asked
if I had
a dark side.

Most of my life
has been lived
on the dark side.

Yet my heart and soul were
no part of the madness
the blackness the void
except as reluctant captive
resisting the entombing life
depleting molasses dark side.
