The Radiance of Words
THE RADIANCE of WORDS
T’ward darkened stage a spotlight throws a beam
Bright circle draws rapt focus of each mind
Now witness to a world newly defined
Of entities that live within this gleam
In theatre of life that may seem dark
Or filled with views chaotic and confused
A word can fix a focus to infuse
A sense, bringing illumination stark
When those of language currency may wield
Words purposed to deny a picture fair
But cast dark shades of turmoil and despair
By which truth is distorted and concealed
Then let the poets’ lucent words cast rays
To brighten and elucidate our ways
