Very interesting. Going through the despair of the night, one needs the light to overcome. It is like saying all of this with only the most important words, making the reader think, imagine and conclude. Real good! Thanks for sharing another one. Caroline.

Thanks for the light ... it is engaging form that I think can carry some of metaphors more ably.
