The light shines
Bright and clear
It spills out
With lovely fluidity

It glows and glows
Like the luminous moon
Ready
For the stars and beyond

I see it
Embrace it
Wait for it to come
For my ways to be
Illuminated
And righted from wrong

But still and constantly
I'm left in the dark
In a desolate place
Tainted with immorality

The light creeps
Back to its source
Slowly and reluctantly
Still

It pauses at the door
Waiting for a shine
For a prompting order
That never comes

And slowly
Oh, very slowly
The hope blooms back
In my heart

A hope as bright
And inspirational
As the stars and galaxies
Above

It blooms and blooms
Infinitely
To a size
Even bigger than the world

And finally
It seems
Finally
My work
Has been noticed by all

The blood, the sweat
The strife, the heart
Justified
Forever and more

And so the light
Flows back
Happily
Grateful for its
Unfinished job

And engulfs me
In its golden embrace
With startling softness
And gentle grace

And finally
Oh, finally
When at last
My work is done

I fly back up
With the golden light
And right others
Who have been wronged
