In darkness shines the light of love,
a truism, but of some severe significance,
because the light is threatened by this darkness
constantly, and darkness is, as Plato found,
much greater than the vulnerable light.
The darkness is unfathomable in its depth,
and this unendingness of dark holes in the universe
is ever like a terror, since it cannot be defined.
It just exists as an eternal threat
against the twinkling smallness of the light,
which never can, however, be put down.
That is the magic of the miracle,
that this eternal overwhelming darkness
always is defeated by the tiny light.
