The Light
December 22, 2014
White hot ball of flames
Bathing the landscape below
With a warmth unknown.
Burning with passion,
Unbridled power held just
Beneath the surface.
Living in its light
Shielded from pernicious frights,
Taught us to fear night.
Protected by bright
Rays cast down by its cheerful gaze
Helps us through the maze.
Luminate the path
Help us to escape the wrath
Of a darkened life.
