Where you stand now, can be moved. It's either you or the ground. Is it light you seek or darkness? If you remain immovable Like that thing in the street, Tripping, your face will meet The ground, hard.
Lay ****** and bruised, Defiant as the cement That slapped your face. It gets dark real fast When all you hear is the mold That lays you to rest.
Be alert and aware like A library door. Possibly your unnoticed Life is awakened by Words that wrap you with History and comfort as if Every minute is the opening From a wrapper of your Favourite candy. Live In the trace of light Where you stand.
