brightness

13.

when all the lights threaten

to go out on me,

you come along with your torch;

your bright eyes,

your bright heart,

bright spirit.

and you shine it right at me,

making sure the strong glow

never dares to leave me in the dark.

and through this,

my love of the light has grown

and I am learning to

embrace and use

my torch too -

for the benefit of others,

and maybe for myself, too.

your bright eyes,

your bright heart,

bright spirit

were true

and never dared to leave me.

they are in the undertones

of the brightness

I have learnt

and found from inside myself.

and this leaves me

at thank you.

thank

you.
