Where Does The Darkness Go? Poem by Walterrean Salley

Where Does The Darkness Go?

Rating: 5.0


In a room without windows,
There's only darkness there.
But with the flip of a switch,
The darkness disappears.

How magical such moment
A mystery, and so—
When the 'light' appears,
Where does the darkness go?
