    lighteness in the dark

    the best thing about life
    is that it tells you about light
    whether you turn it up full blast
    or dim it star strike
    is totally up to you
    nothing is ever the same again
    once light is adjusted bright shuned
    or turned off.
    Darkeness is down to you
    and light is all about you.

    Once I was in a tour of some cave and the guide told us he was going to turn out the lights so we could see total darkness. When he did that, space seemed to vanish. It was strange feeling. When you said "darkness is down to you", it reminded me of that experience.

    Hi YesNo thank you for the ''brilliant'' story or shall I say the 'dark' story.
    Very interesting read. I have never had this experience but I can imagine that blackness or darkness can I have that 'vaccum' feeling where things seem to just sink and everthing feels hollow.
    Thank you for reading and telling the story. I enjoyed it.

    Prodigiously metaphorical, and with the meaning morphed and layered. Yes light delineates life or else life is nonexistent physically and abstractly

    A nice poem with a beautiful idea. Indeed it is up to us to find the light which burns within us. Without that light a dark void fills our life.
