Light - A Tribute

Out of all the elements, light shines through the most - literally. The counterbalance of darkness, the essence of all things good and pure, this world would not be worth living on without it. These days, as the moral fiber of human beings in general is starting to decay, it's something we seem to have lost, or have a hard time holding on to.

"But even in the deepest darkness, there's always light."

This is my tribute to light, and a way of sharing a little light with all of you who might be needing it.
