Light that lights all lights

Have you ever seen a candle glow, the one that is whiter than snow. The special brightness it will show, it can light up a room for all to see.
“we look for that light eternal that does not come and go the screen upon which life plays cognised in staid stillness slow”
Everyone has this very special light, the light that lights all lights. What is it you may ask, the soul one was given at birth.
Many do not know about this special light, therefore they do not use this special light. Once you find it use it, let your life show your light. Letting the screen upon which life plays, cognised in staid stillness slow.

Hi Paula, you are ready for any contest. You seem to have poems always ready up your sleeve. I am amazed at your range. Yes, we have a soul that is part of the universal soul. If we allow the light to continue to blaze, we will never be in darkness. Enjoyed your profound brooding.
