At the END of the TUNNEL,
There's always a LIGHT,
Sometimes SOFT,
at times BRIGHT,
DARKNESS SURROUNDS,
you casting the NIGHT,
keep FOLLOWING THIS TRAIL to
an ILLUMINATING SIGHT!!!
Out of the DARKNESS,
as you MAKE YOUR WAY,
TRAVELING this DARK TUNNEL,
into the DAWN OF A NEW DAY!!!!!

You are the LIGHT,
of an ILLUMINATING SOUL,
That'll BRIGHTEN up the DARKNESS,
Everywhere you go.

A LIGHT so BRIGHT,
YOU HAVE SUCH A GLOW,
When you enter the scene,
Onlookers will KNOW,

People can't help but
to see your SHINE,
Your SHINE is so LOUD
Others will go BLIND.

PEOPLE will see YOU,
Oh, YEAH THEY DO!!!
Your LIGHT is being NOTICED,
IS WHY HATERS DON'T LIKE YOU!!!

GLOW Like a LIGHT BUG,
Get out and SHINE,
As FAR AS the HATERS,
DON'T PAY THEM NO MIND!!!

CONTINUE TO GLOW,
WHEREVER YOU GO,
BE A LIGHT THAT STANDS OUT,
SO, THAT THIS DARK WORLD WOULD KNOW!!!

A Candle
's flame
-the most
selfless of light-
Consuming itself,
to
Illuminate night.
"always find a way to leave,
always chasing brighter sky
always fighting my disease-
No, even drugs won't satisfy...
& you can hold a candle
so long it burns your hand,
and love can last a lifetime
no nothing has to end" - Lala Lala

light will find us
illuminating the dust and neglect
that has gathered on our lives
shining between blinds
and curtains
we have designed to keep it out
because we are asleep
to its possibilities
and the darkness hides
our nakedness
and doubt
time to squint into the brightness
shake off the covers
and walk out

O God, may Your light of love and truth always shine through
illuminating all the darkness and dispelling our ignorance too.
You are the Only One That eternally shines by Its own infinite light
and everything’s a reflection of Thy glory witnessed by divine sight.

i wish for my own good
but my truth is the weight of my option

i’ve only found that my true illumination
comes from darkness that covers my sight
from the pressure created inside

for the first time in my life, I'm not hiding.
I stand with my walls down and my heart open.
my legs are shaking, and my breathing is shallow.

he wraps his arms around me to keep me steady.
my head rests on his chest as he strokes my hair.
I close my eyes for a moment, finally able to rest.

I look at him carefully, and I see no armor.
his walls are down and his heart is open.
his legs are shaking, and his breathing is shallow.

we hold each other until our love grows roots.
then we let go, and our smiles illuminate the world.
he takes my hand in his, and we walk together.
This poem is very close to my heart. I don't think I've been as honest and vulnerable with anyone as I have been with this person. He has said the same about me. It is wonderful to love and be loved back in this way, and I hope anyone looking for love will feel this way with someone.

Threads of light from a waking sun,
Illuminate the dreams,
That rest on your eyelids.
And you carry them with you,

wherever you go.
LC Apr 2020
it illuminated all,
hid nothing
her first instinct:
close the blinds
and her eyes.
  
after a while
she opened the blinds.
her eyes followed suit,
squinting, adjusting,
taking in her surroundings.

the light shook hands
with the darkness
its touch healed,
helping her produce
light of her own.
