~light~ Poem by Sinnaminsun Sinnaminsun

I feel your kindling presence
like wood to fire,
Warm your way
through...
Unburden, uplift, lighten
my shadowy way.

Light, how you betray
Expose all weakness
with enlightened ease,
Cast your glaring burn
upon all I covet,
Turning my walls to cinder
alighting my soul to bare.

Light, you bind me
in a flurry of spirited radiance,
Only to leave me
in vivid dark.

Your kindling presence
like wood to fire,
Warm your way
through...
Unburden, uplift, lighten
this shadowy way.

In each shaded corner
you rustle,
Shifting dark to indigo...
Trembling shadows to submission.

But Light, how you betray
Exposing weakness
with enlightened ease,
Casting your burn
upon all there is to covet,
Turning walls to cinder
alighting souls to bare.

Light, binding in a
flurry of spirited radiance,
Leaving just a as stark
within vivid black.
