feeling like a child of your light
as you watch me
watching you closely, then following your glow
able to now see the world in its true light
amongst the ominous distractions,
I’ve never lost sight of you
I know what you will do
you will rise
you will shine
you will be
despite any hindrances that may block what I see
you will alarm me to my waking hours
back dropping my hours of peak performance
even setting at my most idle moments
you will even fall from glory’s attention,
falling to alert me to the time to rest and recuperate
as the days come, you will light my path
but one thing you have not been able to show me
is where my Sons are at
because there limits to wonders
some you will know
some you may never
because you can’t highlight everything,
when some things are just kept in the dark
and so that is where I am kept-
despite your luminous magnificence-
in the dark
unable to be like you,
and watch my Sons
the many shining moments and stories forever missed
no light, no matter how herculean,
can ever bring that shine back to me
