Ever Bright
(To all who have ever felt pain)

I saw a candle
On the floor
It dripped wax
A puddle formed

But more alarming
Than even this
No one seemed
To care

Light cast long shadows
For it flickered
On the cold
Dark floor

I recall now
Another scene
Where wax dripped
Uncaring

T’was quite a
Broken heart
Though it seemed
So fair

T’was mine very
Home and
I shudder to
Recall

All the self-inflicted
Pain that
Flickering candle
Became

Now light shines
From the
Sky-lights while
Shadows hide in corners

And as I enter
This poor scene
Of dark night
I do shudder

For I see
Reflected horror
Mirrored though
Worse it be

I’d save the
Flickering candle
I’d clean the cold
Hard wax

Though I care
Enough you see
The power
Is not in me

The brightest
Light
Shines from
The Sun

Into all broken
Hearts, the candle
It is merciless
But dawn comes

Ever Bright

The earth is round, germs cause desease, and God speaks.

I am insane of course BUT STILL!!
