Glow Worm

naked and shining bright behind the curtain of a shrouded sky

a glow worm bears the lonely torch of my sorrowed fading soul

sometimes it slides down upon a comet to reach foundations in

the catacombs of a heart suppressed by anger fear and darkness

trips the fuse of new beginnings and arrests the thief of luminance 


when it reflects on the sliding scale of downfall and reflections

there comes to light a firmament of hope and obscured aspirations

refuses to relinquish glimmers of a sparkling rollercoaster ride

and tells me that there is a stellar constellation with my name on it

conveys the message that one radiant flicker is more than enough


deep in the confines of a baseless basement of dusty mouldy gloom

it speaks a quiet tune of resilience in the face of stark obfuscation

purses its lips in a speech bubble that only I myself can penetrate

and radiates through suffocation blindness fatigue and lost resolve

until I comprehend that step by step I’ll reach the canopy once more
