Mid Light

Ode to a lantern

There’s a light that sits in the middle of my room.

It brightens up the world around me which looks doomed.

When I wonder if things will ever get right.

The center of my bedroom brightens up with the mid light.

Figuratively speaking this is the way that I cope.

It’s no joke the mid light is my lantern of hope.

It shines through me when life takes a scare.

When all seems lost the mid light shows me I’m halfway there.

Oh how thankful I truly am for this mid light.

Seas of darkness could never overcome this big light.

If lost is the only thing that you can see today.

Look for your inner mid light and let it lead the way.
