The Darkness in My Room
Caused by the power outage
The room is pitch dark.
When I stepped outside my room, I saw darkness everywhere. I can see a few flickering lights in the distant apartments. But other than this, there is no light.
The complete darkness has its own beauty.
I can experience this only when there is a power outage at night.
Inside my room, it looks like a complete void. My vision submerges in the blackness. Only the sound of my breath fills the emptiness. The jet-black darkness reminds me of nothingness. Without light, everything I call mine vanishes — my bed, kitchen, painting, laptop,writing-everything becomes non-existent to my mortal eyes.
I can only feel my breath and thought.
Probably, the darkness teaches me that only these two are under my control.
Everything else is transitory in life.
