Light

Light
Glimmer
There was a little bit of hope left that things would turn around
Hope is healthy sometimes, keeps you going
When you can't see in the dark
When your feet can't carry you much further
When your body fails and limb and life give way
It can keep you going, a flashlight through the infinite
A beam through the despair
A glimmer of light in a dark cavern

Shine
You are my beacon
And when I say you shine so bright
It's because I can't see anything else but your light
And when I can't find my way home
I'll look for your light alone
No GPS, no telephone
Just all the light that you have shone

Lighting
The way the light hit your face and split it into two like a black and white cookie
Was and continues to be a story in and of itself
You sat there balancing light and dark, like some of us try to do everyday
But it was at peace on your face and I wondered if this was your true state
Because I've seen the light and dark of many things before and it fit so snugly

The way the light split your face in half
It was like a ying and a yang, swirling around each other
Perfectly balanced
The way the light hit your face was like lightning striking in the sky
The way the light hit your face was like God splitting the sky open
And letting his angels through the gate to do what they do
The disparity of our ugly dark world against the magnificence and splendor of
