Spread the Light

There lives a light inside of all

That shines much brighter than the sun.

Though hidden beneath cloaks of angst

It bides its’ rest so patiently

To wait the invitation of a silent

Cloudless sky, 

And bursts with buds of happiness

For all the hapless world to see.

 

The mind can be a crafty knave

Who muddles with perplexity the

Daily drudge that veils all hope

And blots the light from breaking through.

But the blessed heart will not be stilled

And finds the pathway of the soul

So beams may peek and bloom and shine

Til happiness, at last ensues.

 

Oh, wonderous day that leaps with joy

To kindle succor’s appetite,

And kindness lives and multiplies when

Left to rise and spread the light.
