Shine a light before you leave

Colours of agony still longer to the unforgiven

They cripple and degrade and soon fall

And can drag you down to their sin

Throw a sparkler in before you go

For you may find those bursting with love

Among the shadows, they radiate virtue

And eventually go to the better places above

Take a torch along your walk

Lonely souls seem to only ripple more depression

See them, know them, accept them

But take caution of the obsession

Ignite a flare upon your path

For you are bound to discover those select few

Their eyes glisten and are blinded with hope

Their sterling sincerity radiates in their unique hue

Flicker a match on the way there

With clarity, gaze into any threatening mask

Dwell into each step with naïveté and soft confidence

Shine a light; that’s all I ask
