when light was made,
at the first time,
was found to be good,
they don't thought the same
about darkness.

Wondering why,
I got myself further,
walking on hidden paths
behind the curtain
of living light.

Got scared,
at the beginning,
but was not so bad,
perhaps because darkness
it's only a fade light,
I thought.

When I really faced it,
I was so happy,
don't know why,
but was still and warm,
undisturbed,
by any light.

Now I understand,
why darkness was never
found to be good,
because I didn't, yet,
came back from there.

You shouldn't wait for me!

I think we can enjoy the darkness, if we have some knowledge of our surroundings from having seen them in the light, or part of it, and knowing we can come back to the light, which we do need to live! Rhiannon

You are so right Rhiannon, the idea of getting to light someday, should keep us alive in the darkness.

I am thinking what's happening when there is not light at all.

Thanks a lot for reading, very much appreciated.

Though, receiving the 'Light of the world' in your heart makes all the difference to the darkness of struggles, perplexities and waiting. Rhiannon (John 8:12; Psalm 119:105)

PS I like the picture of the glimmer in the darkness

Hmm, that implies we are creatures of light? In this case, after life darkness it's not an option. I suppose many scientists will hate me for this smiley Thanks Rhiannon, loved to share these thoughts with you.

HI, again, Tibi!
Not quite sure of your meaning there, but God says he created sunlight for earth, and, rebelling against him is like rejecting his light of truth, which is why Jesus came into the world to give the light of direction and meaning in life, and how to know, through him and his sacrifice, we can go to the eternal light of his presence after death; and he says his words, the Bible, are light to direct us in the darknesses of life. Rhiannon

From the christian believe point of view you are so right, after death we are going to eternal life(which makes us beings of light, I believe). But, if God made the light from nothing(or darkness), makes darkness not so bad after all, even more, implies that darkness can be the origin of everything, maybe, good or bad.

Then why are so afraid of it?

A walk on the dark side can be interesting, though maybe frightening, too...

Nice poem!
