Illuminating Illusions

Illusions
of what is
of what is not
sometimes so dark
that we cannot see
past what they make us
believe that we are seeing
but light
illusions of light
make the world seem to be
so bright and so full of something
more then the darkness we find at our cores
is the light
an illusion of
what we wish things
to be? Or is the illusion
of the darkness we perceive?
What can we say is reality, if
we do not know what we can believe
light is the opposite of the dark, one
cannot exist
without the other
so then, what can we say
to whether we prefer night
or day? we must instead realize
that the illusion is just another
illusion that hides itself in what we
think it is that we see. Light exists, as does
the dark. What matters, is what can persist.

I'm not sure if this makes any sense...
