Lighting the Dark

This curious life of mine

has blossomed in the sunshine.

The sun has been my own star

illuminating where we are.

In a dark eternity

a blackness had covered me.

A voice said “Let there be light”

and it was light that night.

There are millions of stars

having headlights on most cars.

No more darkness covers me.

That is how it ought to be.

It is also how light began

to make me a happy man.
