The Shining Light Poem by Cynthia Aluning

Sprung amongst us...
The light that captivates
Freed from the weight of pain
From the bondage of being insane

Madness there is...
But always finding remedies
A gift of oneself
A process learned and shared

A friendship sets on fire
Takes root and grows at a time
A chemical reaction
It accepts imperfection

An endless forgiveness
From other's differences
A triumph of imagination
At a touch of emotions

A life filled with summer
The heat in the nights of winter
A perfect bloom in springtime
A shining gold in autumn's site

A battle between heart and soul
Only the light of love can win it
A gateway to escape the past
On its dim road, it illumines
Darkness cannot drive out darkness
Only light can do that...
The shining light that sprung amongst us
Only love can do that...
