Illumination shine on a residence, but when it comes to no one, they stay unseen. Dwellings without people presence remain dark. Absence of people to greet the illumination, not a soul's home to enlighten. Uninhabited dwellings remain void of light, leaving the lights with no purpose. Illumination seeks people, but in no one's residence, there's nobody to light up.
