I was in darkness, surrounded by cold wet ground, I laid there alone, with no one around, Fear and doubt was all that filled my heart, The sadness and grief tore me apart. One day I received a warm kiss, For the first time I opened my eyes, Wondering who I had missed, It was the SUN, asking me to wake up. I felt the change move through me, I was no longer, imprisoned in a tiny shell, I broke free into the world, to be happy, What I did was look in the right direction. All this while I was ignorant, Assuming darkness is the opposite of light, Now I know darkness is just absence of light, I let in the light, and realized who I am. By Venkat Raghavan

Gentle touch
I was in darkness, surrounded by cold wet ground, I laid there alone, with no one around, Fear and doubt was all that filled my heart, The sadness and grief tore me apart. One day I received a warm kiss, For the first time I opened my eyes, Wondering who I had missed, It was the SUN, asking me to wake up. I felt the change move through me, I was no longer, imprisoned in a tiny shell, I broke free into the world, to be happy, What I did was look in the right direction. All this while I was ignorant, Assuming darkness is the opposite of light, Now I know darkness is just absence of light, I let in the light, and realized who I am. By Venkat Raghavan
