The Light Within



lights shine in the eyes of every newborn

that decline as we grow older,

darkness replaces the light as we replace

ourselves in natural transitions...

a forgiving sun rises on the horizon

providing the way as best as it can

giving the circumstances of its inauguration,

and those who cast not their opinions...

rising tides along the coastlines give

warning to sailors who fail to heed the call,

soon finding themselves drowning

in pools of bureaucratic nonsense tossed

out for our relative but unnatural safety...

lights shine down on the unworthy and

those who know not who they are,

even after years of therapy reveal 

they are who they were meant to be.
