The Light


It is the way it gracefully settles onto the face,
opposing darkness on the other side.

It is the hope at the end of a tunnel’s darkness
which guides our sight.

It is a beacon from shore, leading sailors to
safety from unseen jagged reefs at night.

It reveals a rainbow spectrum of colors arched
across passing stormy skies.

It sends silvery shafts streaming through steely
overcast clouds of gray.

It features and animates cast and crew upon
lifetime’s theatrical stage.

It rises, it shines, it paints fiery hues of crimson
and gold transitioning day into night.

It entices, it invites, it excites and sets the festive
mood at Christmastime.

It leads the way, and without it, candle and campfire
would never shine...

It is the light, that warm and reflective gleaming in
your eyes which makes every day a bit more bright.
