A Light Burns
A light burns in me
sometimes bright and strong,
sometimes quiet and soft,
but always it burns.
I see a light burning in you,
I see a light burning in us all.
Each of us has a wick
and fuel to burn,
a light to guide us
and to keep us warm.
Why douse others’ flames?
With cold water
and hate?
Why bring others down?
and dim their beautiful lights?
I will fuel the lights
of everyone around me
And watch their flames grow
tall and proud.
I will bask in the warmth
of my friends’ lights,
Smile at the flickering lights
of flames across the globe.
I will fuel the light in everyone
because I know
the world is brighter
when we light it up together.
