I am admittedly not a poet, nor do I read a lot of poetry. That said, I liked the title - it's something I strive for in my prose - so I was intrigued. Overall, I like the poem. It basically sets out what it is a poet tries to achieve, and it does so clearly and succinctly, with a nice rhythm to boot. The only issue I had with the poem is the phrase "pull dark into light". It just doesn't fit, and I am not even sure what it means. It sounds good, but it does not add in my opinion to the poem.
