Your light shimmers
Like dawn just before
The world awakens
Your light is not a transaction
It is your power
Your navigation in a world
Where the path is not clear
No one else holds your light
But it’s easy to give it away
When your mind
Finds comfort in the fog of illusions
Your eyes carry your spark
They are not just doorways to your soul
But a map of your life
From when you took your first breath
The ones who give their light away
Feel empty and drained
behind closed doors
The illusion helps to hide it
Temporary distractions ease the ache
Of a light growing dim
But a soul can only stray so far
Until the scream becomes louder
