Living In Light
Location
Living in the dark
No light shining forth
Except from overhead
Providing a bounty of endless warmth
I see all around trees of death and grass of life
With a road cutting through
The people on it wishing there was just more
More to this life
More than just watching death surround us
Why is it there
Why does it watch us
And yet there is something here
The light causes the dark to fear
I wonder still
How can I live in this terrible world
Violence
Repulsion
Hate
There’s too much happening
Yet at the same time there is peace
Because the light shines on me
Even though I cannot see ahead of me
And only remember the obstacles behind me
The light illuminates the area I need
Chills creep up my arms
I trip and fall
The light fades
And I’m alone
Lost in the dark
I cry
Louder and Louder
Wishing for the light to come back
I reach out
Cursing my existence
To wander lost forever
Not knowing what is to come
Thinking that there was someone there
Then my hands brush against
Goosebumps erupt from my arms
I feel a touch
“Stand Child” I hear
I am helped up
“Open your eyes”
I was once blinded, but now I see
The light envelopes me
And holding my hand
I can only feel
But he’s there
I’m not alone
This world was created by this light
And yet darkness surrounds it
But this light follows me
And I will follow it
No matter where it leads me
I love this light
