Spotlight
Once there was a spotlight
hanging on a stage
she’d shine and make it brighter
for musicians turning the page.
The performers thought she was too bright
and hurt everyone’s eyes
so they took down the rope holding her
and let maintenance say their goodbyes.
The spotlight stayed passive
even as they tied her knot
and now the brightest spotlight
finds the peace it silently sought.
