The Light

Everything revolves around me, Even if you stand still I will spin you, I am a candle in the pitch black, There is no one who can blow me out, I am like a fire that warms you, You would die without me, When I am mad I bleed plasma, My heart will never be seen, My love will never be felt, But still my light lives on, I burst through clouds to reach you, Plants and trees follow me, I grow the flowers for you, I haul the bucket to water them, I dry up the water they spill, But then you hide from me, You scream when I touch you, You hide your eyes from me, But I am not a beast, I am a life source, I am the sun

very profound I like your writing Eli. This is very much a poem of depth. It brings to mind. 'If you have an ear then let it hear.' Thank you for sharing.
