Light Cannot Be Hidden By Darkness For Long

But if it, then it becomes wasted and useless

---

Light cannot be hidden by darkness for long 

We are each like a pen 
That has life within it
But doesn’t look like it on the outside 
Instead they look dull 
With sharp tongues 
Ready to challenge to a duel 
Whoever tries to touch them
Or peel their external skin 

We don’t know 
That unless we are exposed like that 
We can’t be of much use to anyone 
Much less ourselves 
If left unused 
The ink that’s within us 
Our lifeblood 
Will also run dry soon 
And therefore render us further useless
Except as perhaps 
An object of interest 
To look at

But touch the cover
Try to open it
And suddenly 
What is inside is revealed 
The pen not only becomes useful to the one 
who touches it 
and brings out its purpose 
It also does an amazing job in writing words 
And drawing beautiful illustrations 
We are each capable of a writing a fabulous story here on earth 
And that’s not all

As long as there is ink within us 
We can keep writing and gifting the world 
Many many wonderful stories with colors 
The light that is inside each one of us 
Is waiting to be released 
Each one a different color 
A different story 
A different rendering 
Is waiting to escape its prison of darkness 
And when it is looked at with interest 
When it is examined like that 
And its cover lifted 
Then the light within each one of us 
Will be not only exposed 
But render the pen that is us
Much more useful
Much more capable of producing light to the whole world! 

But this light inside of it 
Can also quietly die out 
If the pen is left untouched 
Is not looked at with intent
Is not handled with interest 
And care 
And opened very slowly
Carefully
Deliberately 
To be not just admired for its beauty 
But to release the light within it
And render it as it was created to be
And that is 
To be of use to the world 
To tell its story 
And that of others 
Like each of us is here to reveal 

Think about this
Peace ✌🏽
