There is a light that shone on the shore
Some say it doesn't shine anymore
Some say it's just too dull to see
But maybe these propositions aren't reality
There is a fog in the air, but one nobody can see
The light is too dull to break the fog
But it is too bright to see
Observations forming thoughts that come to me
Show the light is nor broken, bright or dull
It has no prejudice; It just wants to be free
As the sun rises on one side, it has set in the other
To a dark side, there is always one forever bright
The world alit is never out of sight
Fireflies remain, even in the darkest days and blackest nights
Like a deer, you can always find a stream
And if you have searched on and on
Never finding fire, you assume the light is gone
But close your eyes, you will see it in your dreams
Because the light has no prejudice, it just wants to live free
Cloudy skies cast a calm cold shadow on the land
The darkness devours the great greenspace
Like a face without a man
And so we wait, and wait
Eventually the clouds shall dissipate
The sun shines down through the earth
To the land, the sea, and unto me
I reflect upon the light that's reflecting on me
Reflecting in my soul, I see now what it means
I am the light
I just want to be free
Beautiful and profound extended metaphor. My favourite line: "like a face without a man."
ReplyDeleteThanks. I wrote this at a rather unpleasant time in my life, and wanted to reflect that hope still exists even when it's hard to see.
