Bright Darkness

Whenever cursing the darkness is fashionable like during wartime, even the sunset turns very beautiful. It gives way to the green leaves to fold slowly to be able to rest in preparation for photosynthetic activities tomorrow. It allows the dainty colony of flowers to peep through the coming darkness. It enhances the silhouette of leafless twigs and moving shadows, even a leaning crucifix on top of a bell tower on the side of a light less church.

It will take infinity for the gray of the approaching night to be completely engulf by darkness, for darkness is not given a chance to come as the stars begin to shine and the moon showers the world with sweet and lovely brightness.

The absence of artificial light during brownouts only brightens the light emanated by God, for God is light and God is love and God is life.

Life goes on even in the dark as night birds start to fly, as other night lives begin their "day" to mingle romantically with night blossoms among night plants and night lights. It is darkness that makes night bright.
