8419 - Don’t be afraid of dark

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Angeliki Papadopoulou

Maybe you can’t see well
but don’t be afraid of dark,
because there is
the strange light
that will carry day.
You can touch
hidden texts
that others don’t read
and you can learn
inside dark,
when the others are
unable to see.
You can play
even chess
because pieces
and pions
aren’t shadows
but spots of light.
