He hides in darkness
Folded in on himself
His sharp tongue at the ready
Should any dare intrude
She dances through sunbeams
Gracefully leaping over shadows
Her light is contagious
For all those who dare to see
She peeks into the darkness
He unfolds

Oh, I love this! Nothing unfolds that darkness like light. And yet, without the contrast of each other, they cannot be understood, or known.
