Dark and Light

My 16 year old daughter P asked me to post her poem on my blog.

Dark and Light
Snow falls. Every flake is a decision. If it shall fall on a dark spot, to cover and make brighter, or should it fall where all the others have fallen and clumped together? Dark surrounds. And drowns. It climbs and sticks to you until it brings you down and trips you.

Light is small, beautiful and illuminate. Light helps. It carries you. It holds your soul. It guides, without falling to one side nor to the other. It gives you strength until it is sure that you can walk alone.
