The light i carry

I was born of sun-dust,
that is why my heart holds light.
In my country’s long night,
I dream of a morning
that begins with gentler memories.

Words can rise like seeds,
touching soul, heart, and pain.
Every breath is a promise
to every body and every spirit
heavy with youth.

I do not seek crowns of matter,
I seek the life
meant for all people.
If I fall, I rise again—
this is my belief:
after every pause, I must walk.
