"Beyond a doubt truth bears the same relation to falsehood as light to darkness."
- Leonardo da Vinci -
Light.
What can you say about light?
Ubiquitous. Universal. Essential to life.
This 50 word challenge took me back to the fundamentals, to origins...
Don't miss 
Darkness on the face of the deep...

Long ago and far away...
"Genesis"
by Duncan Cary Palmer
Heaven, done.
Earth: begun.
Stars? None.
No sun.
Empty, shapeless
Darkness deep.
God observing
From his keep.
Occult shadow,
Naught to see.
Nary glimmer,
Sky or sea.
Deepest blackness,
Jet, obscure.
Crucial lack
Without a cure?
~~~
Breath, on water hovering,
Palpably uncovering,
One Word,
Day discovering.
"Light!"
Let it be.
Light! Let it be...
