Glow in the Dark

Darkness surrounds the brightest souls.

It’s impossible to see without the light

that shines within. Even when my eyes

are shut, I can still see the light you have

passed on. Colorful images are painted on

the inside of my eyelids. You shine. You glow

in the dark. You light up the night. In a sea

of darkness, you provide comfort and bliss.

Like a flaming candle, you can handle

what’s not shown – the true unknown.

Like a blazing sun, you are not done

until you shed light and provide warmth.

In a world of pain and sorrow, you show

others that happiness is obtainable.

Your light is relatable. You glow in the dark

when others can’t see. You’re a beacon

of light guiding those who are seeking.
