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
