light – Picking Up Roots

Natural Light

Nature's light shows
dim the glow
of fireworks;

they shine brighter
than any man-made light;

we can't help
but try to compete -
we are wired to win -

why not sit back
and enjoy the show

Home

warm yellow light
is a beacon in the dark
calling the wanderer home;

it beckons to the lost,
it is a safe haven
amidst the constant storms
that surround,

a guide in the darkness
stretching our comforting
fingers of light,
a pathway home;

it is safe here
when you are ready,
come home

Your Light

you are the light
in this corner
of the world,

you may waver
in faith and flicker,
but keep burning,

though your eyes may see
an impossible darkness,
you are the light

guiding us through;
keep listening to your heart,
it will show you the way
