The lights are on but they aren't shining for me,
The house all bright and cosy,
I walk in never ending darkness,
No gift of light for me.

The nightsky lights are on for one and all,
They shine so brightly in the heavens,
For me I see them distant and cold,
Twinkling yet with hearts of ice.

The refrigerator light a gift to the beholder,
No searching for food or drink in the dark,
You open the door even only a crack,
The light is there like a spark.

Once my lights burned brightly,
Brighter than the sun,
Now it flickers unsure of itself,
It'll probably burn out and that's no fun.

Favourable spark in the distance,
It IS shining there for me,
I look at it in wonder,
Such beauty warming to me.

That distant light I witness,
Is called hope, friendship and love,
I ever struggle towards it,
True love and contentment are waiting there you see.


 What the inner voice says will NOT disappoint the hoping soul.

Isis,
     this is beautiful. . . yet, very sad. . . sometimes we cannot see the light when we are in the middle of the darkness. . . hopefully you will see your light soon. . . but know that your light still shines. . .

 That which gives light must endure burning

I often loose my light.  This poem reminds me of the stuggle to get to peace and hope.

I have to agree with Sven. Although the light may not always shine for you, it is always shining bright from you. From one who sees it

Here I stand my sister. With open arms and unconditional love for you. I accept you for who and what you are. Let my light of friendship shine for you.
