Abhishek Singh

Do not ask me whether I belong to the light or to the shadow.

The tree never asks the dawn to choose between its leaves and its roots.
The mountain is beautiful because it carries both the sun upon its summit and darkness within its stone.

So am I.

There are mornings that bloom inside my chest like birds discovering the sky.
There are nights that return quietly, bringing every loss I have ever loved.

I no longer argue with either.

The light taught me how to laugh without guilt, how to open my hands, how to believe that tomorrow is worth another beginning.

The shadow taught me what the light never could;
how to survive, how to kneel without breaking, how to carry silence until it became wisdom.

If you love only my brightness, you love only half the man.
For it was the darkness that carved the space where compassion could live.
It was sorrow that taught my heart the language of tenderness.

Without winter, the forest would forget the miracle of green.
Without night, the stars would remain forever unseen.

So let me wear both shadow and light.
One reminds me of who I have been.
The other whispers who I may yet become.

And somewhere between them;
where dawn kisses the last breath of night;
I finally found the courage
to call that place
my home.
