Their Light Poem by Liilia Talts Morrison

They walk, they talk, they spend the day
according to their light
they fight, they play, they reach great heights
according to their light

They write, they pray, they lose their way
according to their light
they act like fools or are polite
according to their light

They try to win with all their might
according to their light
they all head to that endless night
according to their light

They all do what they think is best
according to their light
until the time comes in the end
to find out what was right.
