Light
Sometimes I need light.
Sometimes we,
sometimes everyone needs light.
In the dark and the damp of rooms,
of feelings, of thoughts
and of our lives that flow,
we need light from the window,
from the open door, from the open spaces
under the open skies,
and then we need some lights to glow,
but from where, when or whether
it will come or not come, we never know.
And for the deepest dark
of our dilemmas and destinations,
of our regret, shame and sorrow,
sometimes the lights of touch and words
we need to borrow.
To light our paths of today
and tomorrow,
so that we can survive
at least within a meaningful light
all the way to the end of our show.
