Darkness in the Limelight

 "Andhere ka sach

 Aankhon ko chubta raha

 Ujaale ka vehem

 Aankhon ko accha lagaa

 Subah ne waqt bataaya

 Raat ne usska ehsaas"

                  did you hear it?                   now?

                     

That was the darkness. Not like the one of Hannibal Lector from the movie Silence of The Lambs, its the one with the room full of lights, but swtiched off. 

A shower in a dark bathroom, with eyes closed, and only the darkness speaking to you through the shrrrrr of the water from the shower. 

We have been great companions throughout these years. 

He had his scary way of introducing himself in my childhood, but later things in light were the ones which were most terrifying.

No colour is as elegant as the one of darkness.. (And no it isnt BLACK)

Light has always been the attention seeker with its flickering and constant need to be noticed.

Darkness never demanded any of that, as he always knew that staying subtle is whats gonna make him shine *paused for a chuckle*

Light has been pricking your eyes with its exposure, maybe thats a price you pay for the crystal clear visibility.

And Darkness has been creating a comfortable ambience with everything in shadows amd staying unknown. 

People say that Darkness encourages the evil spirits to take on the minds of people, where as on the contrary in He has been saving you from them. Think about it.

He always had so much to say in all that silence. 

Darkness has been the one keeping you safe from "darkness"

As all these thoughts were running through my mind, my dad switched the light on. "Why were you sitting in the dark?"

I just smiled as I noticed the Light grinning at the Dark shadow of my dad on the wall.
