The Light

The darkness in my room, I silently penetrated.
Everything, I could not see. 
The light, I switched on
To find the darkness had evaporated in a wink.

On my bed, I sat and around, I glanced;
Mighty was the bright light 
That vanquished the darkness,
Yet, still existed beyond my sight

Thank you a lot, Kim. I appreciate your comment on my poem The Light. Maybe you would also like to know that we are bringing light where there has been darkness in the lives of women and children in my home country, DR Congo, survivors of armed conflicts and domestic discrimination through https://www.cofapri.org
