Darkness

You move without being able to see, while the wind and the rain echo before you. With very little light, and only the outlines of objects can felt as you move quickly past them. In the distances the cries of birds can be heard against the backdrop of rain and thunder. Indistinct voices can plunge you further into the night. The wind pushes doors open and closed as if someone else was beside you. There is a feeling of being utterly alone, and yet watched. Darkness, as polar to brightness, is understood to be an absence of visible light. It is also the appearance of black in a colored space. Humans are unable to distinguish color when either light or darkness predominate In the absence of light, perception is achromatic and ultimately, black.The emotional response to darkness has metaphorical connotations in many cultures.
