The Light of the Universe

 

Once I stood in a gloomy cave

Dark and cavernous, like a grave

In step, the dwellers shuffled blind

With no thought, but self on their mind.

 

And all like one large moving mass

With hope at bay and eyes like glass

Ambled toward the distant light

So far to be near out of sight

 

For thirst, they drank another's blood

And proudly raised the trophy head

To dictate to the guiding light

That divine honor was their right

 

The timeless ebb'n flow of the orbs

Dotted the caves with hallowed gobs

Although at times, they seem to fade

God's grandest gift is with the spade

 

I reached out to all who were near

To ask them to be without fear

Dim through the misty panes of light

Floated visions of broken mirrors

 

I sat acquiesced in the dark

And to the light, I turned my back

I watched my breath and spoke His name

And bade the light to come to me.
