| This poem focuses on the struggle between Ember and Dark Ember in Darksong. It also reflects the struggle against indifference shown in our world in general. Grey Indifference If I don’t hope Can’t be disappointed If I don’t love Then I can’t lose If I don’t feel Then nothing can hurt me All that’s left is grey indifference If I don’t see Their need can’t touch me If I don’t care I’ve nothing to fear If I don’t live Then dying won’t matter All that’s left is grey indifference But If I don’t hope Then I can’t be saved If I don’t love I lose that light If I don’t feel Then I can’t know joy All that’s left is grey indifference If I don’t reach out Then no-one will help me If I don’t care There’s no meaning If I don’t live Then why bother waiting? All that’s left is grey indifference I must make the choice Between passion and safety Make the choice Between feeling and numb Risk fear and pain Or lose chance at joy Life; or grey indifference |
