Bringer of the light
16 February 2016
She sits calm
Pondering life’s ways
As Time flows
Like rivers
Our souls go through highs and lows
In dancing waters
Sometimes fast
Sometimes inching ants
We let rants
Broken past
Separate our hearts that beat
Quick admit defeat
The knowledge
It comes slow steady
Into minds
Waking souls
Of the chosen few ready
To live on the edge
He lived thrill
His words harsh mouth shrill
Skull beating
The heart numb
Errors of past repeating
His memory played dumb
We light skies
With crazed fireflies’ glow
Or dead stars
Throbbing lies
Bursting out of mind’s control
To clean mess takes hours
The clock sighs
As it counts seconds
Turning slow
Centuries
Two were to bear it the flame
Now one scurries lame
Phantom twin
Runs lone for the win
Ghostly foot
Joins the race
In pairs we face less disgrace
Battered time relay
He turns meek
His lessons now learnt
The soul burnt
Forged by change
He offers strong other cheek
Forgiveness not strange
Each other’s
Tutor and pupil
Lessons pour
The heart’s fill
Winning humility’s sight
Bringer of the light
