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.
