Starlights

The stars mate in the night sky

A cluster of stars giving birth

To light after light

Until all that we are

Is pure white

A Man With No Lights

You made me

You held me

And let me loose

A man with no lights

No signs so that I could be led

You lost me in the dark

Left me there

 

But I learnt that you could not teach with words

But with experience, and I’m a better man for it

Fading Lights

I’m lost in a fog of doubt

I’m on good terms with everyone

But I’m friends with no one

I know how to act

And how to be

I know what to do and to say

But I’m losing the light inside

The more it fades

The more desperate I try to grab it

But you can’t possess light

It’s just there or it’s not

Last light

The light grew dim in my room

I could tell it was fading away

I outstretched my hands from bed

To play with what light was left

I let it fall to my palms

Dancing on the tips of my fingers

Rolling up my arms

Warmly hugging my skin

Jumping into my eyes

Until the light leaves me

The room grows dark

My arms, limp

A sunny morning

Further down on the road

The birds fly by my side

Singing gentle songs

Fluttering their feathers

Banishing the darkness

With the beats of their wings

Gracing my ears

With a morning chorus

The sun rises

The way is not so dark

A sunny morning
