I am a descendent from a place where the stars don’t shine Yet the night is viewed as the most beautiful sight ever seen by mankind I am a descendent of a place where the sun is a hallucination a bad dream no one longs for I am from a place where darkness rules the day and the sound of light a frightening thought which not only saddens our being but that of the life bearer too In the cavernous wonders of origin where everything in not just a mystery But the greatest mythological marvel I was formed Im an offspring of the greatest legends to touch earth and like them mother kept me safe in the place of my origin until I was born
