Let There Be Darkness

Illustration and poem by @ankapolo
in a creative collaboration with @Sunravelme

Darkness is the absence of light.
Endless calm shadow
is the sleeping canvas.
Then light spilled -
a word muddying the silence.
White on black
violent and vivid
primary and secondary
There.
Let light force the form out.
Let it strip the surface bare.
A scorching sun inside a tear,
trapped on a moon-like skin.
The morning glow,
the harsh bearer of reality,
erases last-night's dream.
Beloved face of a stranger
remains in the dark.
Who was it?

Thank you everyone for reading.
