sky fell

The sky held out as long as she could.  A strange mix of day and night hung in the air.  Then one drop escaped and fell to the ground.  Soon the dry earth seemed but a distant memory as she lost all control and the clouds applauded the spectacle. 

let your light

We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark;

 the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light. 

Plato
