the light is warm, inviting and perfect
and in that lies it's strength
it gives us the courage to break the chains
it illuminates the truth
it brings comfort
it brings joy
and because it has this nature we love it
and we can use it to free ourselves
from ourselves
from the dark
dark fears the light
because it knows that even the smallest candle
can give one of us hope
and like a flare
it destroys the dark and drives it back
the dark cowers in corners
unable to face the light
never able to show itself to the candle
light that ripens acquaintance into love
that sparks genius into an artist
that drips emotion into a song
that saves a tear stained child
light is the essence of beauty
the wonder of existence
but alas light is not eternal
eventually stars burn out
eventually the flame runs out of wax
but the dark lives in fear
not knowing when another spark will light
and fears even more the one thing
that can truly destroy it
the light of love
the fire of life
