Poem

Why Darkness and not Light? But if one cannot exist without the other, why ask?

Once upon a time, a little boy was forced to go to a dark place and he was afraid.

But he was not alone there. The demons of his soul and heart were lurking there, waiting for him.

They scared him almost to break his Soul in a million pieces. But, after some time, the fear was gone.

He was not afraid anymore. Because he forces itself to understand Darkness and what resides in it.

And after that, the once scary demons, now were mentors and guidance into the darkness.

There were many lessons learned, and Darkness become part of him. He let it embrace him, and make Darkness a extension of his Soul and body.

He felt safe and with renewed strength for what lies ahead. But one lesson marked deeply the way he saw the world.

Light itself can be beautiful, but like the Sun, Light does not admit other lights...

Instead Darkness, in night-sky allows every single weak and frail light to shine all night long...
