Porch Light
The porch light comes on
as if to beacon strangers
for friend it lights a path to welcome
for thief it warns stay away in shadow
Attracts moths as they flutter into the brightness
as if the bright moon came to earth.
The porch light comforts as a nightlight for home
easing fears of dark outside, of the unknown.
Sleep well as night falls softly about
the porch light is on.
