The Absence of Light

Exploring the Beauty of Darkness and the Power of the Mind.

In the absence of light, a world is born

A world of darkness, where shadows adorn

The spaces between, the places unseen

Where mystery and magic reign supreme

In the absence of light, colors fade

The world turns monochrome, a dreary cascade

Of black and white, and shades of gray

A canvas of darkness, where light can't play

But in the absence of light, there is a chance

To see the world with a different glance

To focus on sound, on touch, on smell

To explore a world that is under a spell

For in the absence of light, the mind takes flight

The imagination soars, like a bird in sight

Creating a world, where light can't define

A world that's shaped by the power of the mind

So don't be afraid of the absence of light

For in it, a world of wonder takes flight

A world of mystery, where magic can be found

A world that is waiting to be unbound.
