While darkness embodies strength of character,

Emanating hidden virtues to ourselves,

Light embodies luxury,

Emanating sophistication, our image to the world,

It’s only in the darkest hour,

I showcase my individuality,

In brightness,

I become one among the crowd,

It’s only in the darkest hour,

I understand my strength,

Like the vine in my backyard,

Finding its way amidst innumerable obstacles,

In brightness,

I become lackadaisical,

It’s only in the darkest hour,

I learn to live with bare minimum,

In light,

I crave for more,

It’s only in the darkest hour,

I know my true friends,

Until then,

Everyone swarm like flies to a sweet,

It’s only in the darkest hour,

I get clarity over the happenings,

In brightness,

Cheer engulfs any impending danger,

It’s only in the darkest hour,

I put forth my sincere efforts,

Until then,

I just bide my time,

Why I wait until the darkest hour,

This week we are asked to explore the concept of light and dark. Does being in the dark bring out our fears or does it work as the opposite?

~*~

When we are in the light, everything is bright

Life goes smoothly and there aren’t any obstacles

But do we value and appreciate this ease we are granted

Or is it considered our Devine right to be blessed with light

~*~

Suddenly the tables are turned for one reason or the other

The light is swallowed whole by a dark cloud looming on the horizon

We are unable to see or perceive our path ahead and fall into a pit

The darkness is our enemy, our foe, which prevents our progress

~*~

It is in the darkest hour that we discover or strength and resolve

When we seem to reach the…

in the darkest hour, dews form
where dreams slowly clash with the stars
dragoons perish like brontosaurs
battles were fought during storm

souls grew old
tired and weary
from the unknown
masters ruled
strategies changed
fallen from great height

some undertakings in the memoirs
like being stuck in the hailstorm
and the reception was lukewarm
music with meshing of guitars

souls grew wise
lessons learned
compassion
understanding
respect and hope
peace to all

ang lahat ng tao
dumadaan sa pagsubok
(all people
go through challenges)*
