The One Light Poem by Mohammad Younus

I. The Borrowed Glow
The Moon kneels low in silvered prayer,
Her borrowed light a fleeting share
Of greater Fires—the Sun's last sigh,
The comet's trail, the galaxy's cry.
Yet in her hush, the Darkness stirs,
And answers back in muted verse.

II. The Debt Unpaid
No ledger marks the Gifted Flame—
The Stars themselves forget their name.
What is given was never owned:
The Breath, the Beat, the Seed, the Bone.
The Giver stands beyond the Tree,
Yet roots Himself in you and me.

III. The Spinning Lantern
Earth tilts her wick to catch the Spark,
Spilling dawn against the dark.
What seems a shadow, seems a night,
Is but the unseen face of Light.
We, the embers, brief and bright,
Are never lost—only alight.

IV. The Unbroken Heart
No flame is orphaned, none alone—
The candle's whisper is the Sun's own.
The golden Thread that holds the Spheres
Is the same Thread that ties our tears
To rivers, to the ocean's hum,
To the Pulse that sings: I Am, I Come.

V. The Final Hymn
Then hush—and let the Darkness speak.
It, too, is Light—but soft, oblique.
The Void? A chalice, vast and dim,
That brims with Radiance to the Rim.
And we—the thirst, the sip, the Overflow—
Are but the One Light, learning how to glow.
