a glimpse of light

Maybe somewhere,
In all this darkness,
There is a spark.
A glorious flame,
A wonderous glimpse of light.

Maybe somewhere,
Amongst all the dust and mud,
There is a glint,
A sparkling diamond,
A tangible gem.

Maybe there,
Under the moonlight,
Beneath all the shadow,
Between all the trees,
Amongst the long grass.
Maybe there is a flame,
That never burns out,
That doesn't dampen.
Maybe there's a spark,
A glorious flame,
A wonderous glimpse of light.

And maybe its a flame
So big, so mind-bendingly important,
That my tiny mind
Cannot comprehend.
That my widening eyes
Will not take in.
That my soul
Longs to embrace.

And supposing I used that flame
to light one of my own.
To carry the spark,
light my path.
Supposing that happened.
My soul will soar,
my spirit will sing.
My eyes will take all in.
