Fools

Revolting shadows, 
Nightmares at living play 
Intimidated by a spark,
A growing sign of hope
The unknown strays away--
A light that glows
Brighter than the moonlight,
Or stars in the sky.
They can’t decide what’s good for us.

Fooling around with our world
Kept secrets of the mind's eyes untold--
Turning them into tiny specks of clay
Nightmares at living play.
