How Edison and Tesla warred
To be the first to capture light.
A replacement for fire
And an ode to the sun.
Guiding travelers
Across sky, land, and seas.
Balming my hungry skin with rays
When I’m jonesing for the sunshine.
Bringing life to what was once still
Shadows dance across glowing plains.
Illumination to our world
No longer constrained by dawn and dusk.
The power of storms harnessed
To fuel our weapon against the dark.
Transcending to be hopes beacon
Against all fear.
Miniaturized to be as small as a dot
Oh how we hunger for our light.

No longer constrained by dawn and dusk.
The power of storms harnessed
To fuel our weapon against the dark.
Transcending to be hopes beacon
Against all fear.
Miniaturized to be as small as a dot
Oh how we hunger for our light.
