Matthew Anish Poet Concrete

Dim Glow In the Distance

the night 
 plays its tune 
and we experience darkness
But  then a dim glow in the 
   distance 
          reaches our eyes
What are we to make of this vision?
   Does it mean we will 
we will be released from the zombie grip
   we have known?
We walk towards the dim light
  with faltering steps 
 The night doesn't seem so 
     cold now 
the glow of a lantern 
    warms us 
Every dark night 
    comes to and end 
Look towards the light!
     However dim it may seem 
        You will be guided home 
at long last
