Much later no one will know
the struggles the light has caused.
For now,
there is safety in the darkness
with its gentle caress
against my forehead
as the breeze swings by
and causes a chill
down my spine.
There is no such peace
in numbers as we were told
it has all been a lie, a vicious lie.
Yet, we believe it because
we are told so, and continue
searching outside the cave
yet longing to return.
