Beacon

Just a circle in the dark, paved roadway A halo of light in a blackened world Just a ray of sunlight in a forest of shadows Pointing straight while others have curled Moving on, and searching the horizon Just a lighthouse on a stormy night A beacon to the shops in the harbor So consumed with pure terror and fright Sunlight to the clouds in the sky A rose in a hackle of thorns Just a circle of light in the darkness One in white among millions who mourn You shine to all those who surround you Don’t blow our for the need is dire And with your light, you lead the way You have the power to change and inspire ENLIGHTENMENT, HOPE, AND HARMONY 4-23-13
