I chased a ray of light
That I caught a glimpse of,
What a magnificent light it was,
Golden. the most dazzling one can think of.

In my mad pursuit,
I was oblivion to the ticking of clock,
So alluring was it's presence
That I ran until I could no more walk.

Then I caught the bright golden light,
and preserved it in my palm,
I was blinded by the dazzling glow,
Yet a voice inside me asked me to keep calm.

I then saw a child on the other end of the street,
Engulfed in darkness and the cold biting on his bare hands and feet.
So I went to him and gifted him the light,
And the smile on his face was the most beautiful sight.
