light

a truth that wants to shine

When it first shown

With the fury of a thousand suns

For millennia it’s passion, that had grown

Could not be stopped

With joy it saw through time

It wanted to be there so it flew through the void

to fill your room with light sublime

Day and night to be enjoyed

Bursting out with a warmth, I hope one day to truly feel

Not just the reflection but the true Sun

Shining from ear to ear, lighting up what is real

Just one embrace before times undone

If you open your eyes you just might see

The truth has been around you and even in me

I have only started to understand it was radiating from all things

The message that the light brings

Whole spectrums

Finally you can see

The path that brought you here

The failure that may be

Hits, but you see it drawing near

You can finally shed your last tier

Through your tears light reflects its true colors
