Glow
By Matt Decker
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.
