a reflection of light
passes through me
unnoticed, leaving
no identifiable marks
once it changes my
perceptions of life
around me... light
turns in and around
inside me like soft
current on the surface
of a pond after a rock
skims across... light
feels it way around
inside like a surgeon
removing a cancer...
then the lungs and
heart are its victims
enters the bloodstream
and flows where it
wants to flow like a
tidal waves that hits
the shoreline of a
coastal village, not
expecting anyone
at all to live... light
gives me courage,
gives me reassurances,
gives me hope that
one day all of my
sins will be forgotten.
