The Light

In a world where not many may know,
a world where the lives of many begins,
a place where everyone starts their story.

In the depth of the darkness,
a small, dim light appears.

Weak and powerless,
it is as if it is fading away.

Colourless,
it slowly emits its radiance.
not able to determine its colour,
the light keeps on shining in the dark.

Staying still,
it is afraid of the darkness.

Alone,
it feels the sheer terror of the dark empty space.

Slowly, the light attempts to break free,
but repeatedly goes back to its initial place.

After repetitive tries, it keeps on trying,
never to give up, never to lose faith.

The light must have realised,
in every being there must be a reason in life,
so it begins to search for that reason.

Countless attempts, the light keeps on fighting,
the darkness overwhelms the small being,
but the light keeps on trying.

Finally,
over the many weeks,
the light slowly grows over time.

Overcoming the obstacles,
the light continues on its journey.

Eventually it is able to meet other coloured lights,
green, red, pink, blue, yellow and so on..
slowly over the harsh situations.

The light was in awe,
amazed by the wonders of different beings,
it is now being accompanied by the coloured lights.

Sadly, the light is still colourless,
and wonders, "why am I like this?"
the light was restless with this question.

However, the coloured lights never questioned the colourless light.

Until one day, the colourless light asked the coloured lights,
"Why am I different than everyone?"

One of them answered,
"We are all unique, in our hearts and soul, not to compare each other. As we all have our own personality.
Understand this, it does not mean we do not like each other. Surely we envy one to another, but there is always the acceptance of how grateful we are to know each other."

The colourless light was relieved,
it was speechless,
with an outburst of joy..

suddenly, it emits a stronger radiance,
an unknown colour.

Stronger, powerful,
the light was majestic.

The darkness could not stand this unknown light.
The darkness would not dare to interfere.

The colourless light was happy,
it was happy to have the coloured lights to be there,
despite the difference they have,
they were able to accept each other.

No matter where the lights go,
no matter how dark their paths are,
they kept on going,
to search for the reason to their existence.

Whether one will eventually fades away,
their will continues on within the other lights.

Stronger than before,
every light has their strengths and weaknesses.
Hence, the lights help each other when they are in needed.


Knowing this, we are all different but unique within ourselves. Believe in our hearts than what our eyes see. Probably you will be able to see the light within us.
Cherish it, for what light you are, the radiance you emit is the strength of many you may not realise. So believe in yourself and have faith!
