Darkness Must Come First

Darkness must come first Like water to the man who thirsts For no man beholds a dazzling light in the brightness of Day Its beauty is hidden by strength of the Sun's rays Its soothing melody is enveloped by the song of the Light of Day So darkness must come first and great darkness to every man who truly thirsts To every man who truly thirsts for the Glory of Light ; There must be Evening before Morning A cup of suffering for a garment of Lightining He breaks the law he whose Light shines in the day He is a thief whose lantern lights in the Heat of the Day ! These were the words of a wise old man : Men must see the Dark before the Sun.!
