Night and Diya

Isn't it beautiful our home, the night abyss

Its darkness, its void, forever endless

There are no lights or brightness. 

We see with auras and pulses. 

We, my people and I. enjoy the realm of silence

We are the same, we are one, no violence

There is no fight here, just quiet. 

We reveille in the void and thrive in it.  

Our purpose is to be in peace because we are darkness.

Everything is coated in grey, black, dark blue in abundance

Tonight, I roam the kingdom admiring the dark side of the moon

 There are no stars here. That belongs to-Oh a musical tune

Music of a harp is playing as I wander

I smile at the auras being created and I ponder

If more creatures saw more with their eyes closed.

They would feel the music all around that heals the soul

I wander and ponder. On this road that's endless black,

I skip and jump enjoying my tedious task

To wander and wait while others wallow

In a world of my kind the endless shadow

Ever closed your eyes to go to sleep

that is my world, it's perfect you see

All is the same, the vision the sound

Nothing to strive for, no envy is found.

All is the same in the world of shadow

from now on today and forever tomorrow.

A fellow shadow glided to me with lips so tight

Shade his name says I heard a rumor there is a thing called light

Light, light, what a strange word

who told you this its sounds weird and unheard

Shade says The great shadow elders are rumored to speak

to the beings of light to visit us this week.

Light, light it sounds so strange.

Beings of light exist? how deranged

What is the purpose? all is the same

Why visit us? we have nothing to gain.

Rumor has it it's time for a change.

We are due to unite with the realm of day.

It sounds bizarre I don't know what to say.

How will the shadow get along with the day

I shake my head. "We know nothing about them

this is sprung to us out of nowhere I don't like the outcome"

Shade nudges me and glides to my front.

"Try not to worry be yourself or just be blunt"

The realm is throwing a party we will meet everyone there

It's a ballroom party to say hello so try not to be scared

Scared me never I am darkness

Shadows are known for being bad, scary and heartless

Yet it's not true, darkness is harmless you see

We shelter the hidden and give passage to the meek

The realm of light is far from us yet neighbors on our lands

They hold the stars, the sun and every luminescent thing known to man

I guess it is time for a change. It's inevitable to say the least

Light and Dark, Night and day will be meeting finally over a feast.

I got ready and went to the grand palace of Abyss. 

Candle lights and lanterns are lit in multiple places

It's my peoples first time seeing lights, we read about their brilliance

The auras and pulses are beautiful, the castle covered in enchantments.

The royals look elegant greeting the kingdom 

The queen lifts her hand to speak, we all grew quiet to listen

“Welcome all to this historic moment in time

It is my pleasure to have the realms of night and of day combined

For centuries we were separated. The sameness getting old

Nothing evolved, nothing changed. We are stagnant so I am told

We need to thrive and learn and overcome, we are the night

It is true it is peaceful here, we had centuries of no fights

Yet I believe we are in need to know outside of our realms 

To know what's chaotic or in order so we are never overwhelmed

I ask my people to welcome our delightful guests. 

The realm Of Daylight welcome. Dance, sing, enjoy the food fest.

With that the realm of daylight with skin that gleamed and glowed

I Looked at mine and see darkness, my touch forever cold

We all mingled and talked to the people of the day. 

Throwing endless questions of what it's like to be they

I walked away from the main hall and into the grand ballroom

Through the doors I am behold a scene, the theme Sun and moon.

At the ballroom in large display

The elders of night held hands with the elders of day.

I said hi to the elder of night taking a bite of shortbread

They greeted me and smiled, and then he said

" We of the shadows have amazing news

We found a realm of day, dazzle and bloom.

though it is new we assure you all is good

Please get to know them, and enjoy the food

I see my people are welcoming, the day are shy you see

The realm of day has many stories to share of glitter and gleam

My people stared at the opposite side

where the people of the day shyly reside.

The queen of night appeared hand in hand with the king of day 

They walked to the dancefloor and began to dance away.

We follow suit still worried no doubt

After so long we got acquainted then laughter broke out.

Standing in a corner, her skin a dimmer glow

I walked towards her, asked her to dance as I bowed 

The other people of the day glowed bright it was blinding

Yet her glow is soft, easy to look at and shimmering. 

She accepted and took my hand our fingers lightly brushed

I held her close as we danced to the music. She is warm to the touch

My dance partner Diya never seen a shadow

 In her realm everything is bright like her today and tomorrow

"Sounds exhausting to be bright all the time" I said without thinking

"It is," Diya said. "We forgot what rest looked, our light is dwindling

"Is that why you're here, to rest up your light?"

She nodded yes. “It may not look like it in sight.”

 Diya says “In our realm we shine all the time”

We shine and shine always in this lifetime

“Everywhere is bright. We glow and glimmer”

Yet there is no way to rest our light that shimmers and dimmer

Will you rest here? I ask twirling diya around

" Our king assigns us a shadow so we can bring balance all year round.

"So, this meetup was a secret way to choose daylight.

Diya smiles. “It was a secret way to choose my night.”

What happens after that? once the choosing happens

Diya says "we are to be our own realm. we become one

" Really?" I say with shock. " We become our own world together.

" That is the plan our two-realm become one

This way we rest and shine and bring beauty and sun

I seem to crave the different, I seem to be having fun

I never knew another way to live. I just knew sameness and dark

I see my people happy in their dances and talks

From that moment on the day has come to live in the realm of shadow.

They came and gone to seek rest, today and tomorrow

The people of Daylight introduced us to another way of living

Filled with discovery and fun while all we knew was existing.

I see Our Shadow queen socializing with the king of light.

The shadow realm is balanced with all colors in sight

Some of the people left to live in the realm of day

and others stayed to glow in the realm of night

We unified our worlds and made homes for both

The unification brought in amazing growth.

The kingdom of day's presence shines and brightens the area.

Our kingdom of night and shadow gave them calm and euphoria

A unification is not so bad I am grateful to have met diya my chosen

We created our own worlds a beautiful, blended Vision

I no longer have nights alone forever in grey

I see the colors of all tones and shades

Long years past, our realms flourishing with change

Unified with Diya, all that I knew got rearranged.

I was first skeptical of change with diya she gave me courage

Our world is colorful, lovely. Our union turned to a marriage

Diya blessed me with littles. Twins that love to run and play

We named them Umbra and Solara of night and day. 

I tell diya I wished I traced to meet her sooner

She smiled and danced with me in our home saying, “Treasure us now and forever,”
