The Lamplighter
Even the one
who lights the world
can succumb to the darkness inside.
We become blind
and see only the light.
The darkness can easily hide.
So you've scattered yourself
to the billions of stars that
blanket the billowing night
to help hold at bay
the darkness that preys
on the strong
and the weak
and the rich
and the poor
and the brilliant
and dull ones
alike.
You gave of yourself
with such ferocity of truth.
You fought with all of your might.
So thank you, old friend
for sharing your gift
and rest now
in peaceful twilight.
