“Light can take away life.”

The Ferrero Rocher chocolate element is probably the most important and favorite chocolate in my life. It makes me happy when I eat it, by adding to the happiness. It is very nice to eat, and unwrapping the chocolate wrapper adds to the fun. The process of opening up the chocolate, in order to eat it, is very short, and that allows me to spend more time eating chocolate instead of just looking at the process in order to glamorize it.

One day, in July of 2009, while eating the chocolate given to me as a gift by my friend Katie, I decided to take some pictures. In the heat, outside in the patio, I put the chocolates in a pattern that you see in the picture. I was making a design, with one layer of chocolate exposed to the sun and the other hidden from it. I knew I had to take the picture quickly, before the awesomely yummy chocolate started melting. That made me think about something.

The light, while so flavorful in the eyes of many, is also slowly taking away our life.

Take my life away,
for you are the glamorizing light,
you are appreciated by the majority,
because of you the majority hides from the night.

The one that started it all,
could have been just a thought,
I prefer shadows to the light,
and I wonder if shadows can be had without light?

Sure the night can exist without light,
I realize with all the might,
darkness and the shadows have more layers,
than probably there ever could be in any light.

“Let us seek the light, and be active in the sun“,
whenever I hear that, I plan for the night and a lot of fun,
It is all right, you can think anything without affecting others,
You can keep your light, as long as it does not interfere with my night.

Can things be relative, or is everything absolute?
If we need light at any point in life, does that mean light is the proof?
Can we need light at some points, while wanting the night all the time?
Can we simply be whatever we feel like, being the night and a nightly mime?

The beautiful things in life, can be pushed away with typical things,
the light is not always the answer, nor should it be a usual thing,
life is simply about fun and living it, and then talking a bit about it for the fun,
though talking about life a bit can also help in living a life away from the light and the sun.
