Carrying On

Of the things I've learned

about light, love, and loss

one thing always stays true,

no matter how right,

never trust the light

 

Though the sun may rise

giving it's warmth to the earth

it passes swiftly through the sky

and day descends to night

 

It can not be reasoned to stay

or begged to be true

it's warmth is not honest

it will only fool you

 

Though I have learned

about darkness, disgust, and desire

I still search for eternal summer,

to have the light,

without fear of night
