'tis true that darkness ruled 'ere light was named.
before the moment it was called to be;
drawn forth from night by god whose word proclaimed
let there be light! - or in some galaxy

born of some great explosion far away
from here in time and space. the universe
of stars and planets spinning night and day
upon a stage of blackness all rehearse.

if not that time for light to travel here
depends upon it's distance from our world
the stars would make the darkness disappear
if light from everyone of them be hurled
 
at once against the fabric of the night.
long since was darkness overcome by light!
