light (two)

why do we like some places more than others?

maybe the people in those places
are letting the Light through

~

don’t be a door,
be a window

be strong enough to keep yourself transparent and let the Light filter through you

keep yourself clean and let it pass through

like through a prism, making every colour appear when we see you

when light falls on you,
I see you
and I infer light

light illuminates and
light disappears while doing so

If someone gave you a flame
in an otherwise dark world,
what would you do with it?

Would you keep it safe, hidden from others,
taking it out only from time to time?

I say, use it to light your way
to the desperate wicks of others
and give them hope.

The flame can go on forever but not on your wick alone.
