In Spite of Light
At night
That's when I can find the neon signs
Neon signs are everywhere
Cloaked by the light of day
I move on from my dark self
Every morning
Assigned to my daily routine
Where these signs are hidden in the light
The light of heaven is nothing in comparison
To those neon signs
The dark is so enlightening
Everything that doesn't need to exist
Will diminish
Every wish will light up
Like a falling star
I'm looking at this light, high
and I know this is a highlight
In the dark, I can see things quite clearly
I can look into the depths of me
Things shine and they shine
how loud sounds
beg to be found
The scars will fade to black
As they are far away from myself
Moving away at the speed of light
Tonight
My daily body will become a nightingale
And sing the words on those neon signs
Flying a message in the darkness
Like lightning in a bottle
