Seeking the LightA Poem by Jeremy BakerLeonard says the cracks exist so the light can get in; where my stillborn potential distends towards entropy. But radiance has no release, though it wash away my sin: my enchantment with ennui, disguised as empathy, makes unequivocal the devotion that determines my hollow, empty days. Bedlam enthroned amid humid, fetid thought, although I have chosen a fervent spiritual path to follow; random fury was squandered in battles never fought. Armour and shields moulded from fear, hate and despair cannot be discarded: on such as these my comfort depends. Yet shall I cast off these chains and make right, tis only fair to restore and rebuild; to recompense and make amends. Perhaps, after all, my friend Leonard was right: I am tired of being fearful; now shall I seek the Light. © 2011 Jeremy BakerAuthor's Note
