Glow

On this moonlit night

Emit I my light.

When it’s hard to think

I can always blink.

🌟

Streets lit and littered

With streaks of glitter.

But that neon

Won’t be on

For eons

(No doubt).

This little light of mine

The only shine

That won’t flicker

Out.

🌟

Down here in the deep

Others struggle to see.

Competitors

And predators

Hover over.

So into the black

I react

With color.

🌟

Through today’s horror

And tomorrow’s sorrow

Looms the quiet roar of

A luminous aurora

And aura.

🌟

In my heart

This I know:

It takes the dark

To behold my glow.
