Somewhere a Light

 Somewhere a Light

There is 

always light,

somewhere.

Darkness 

is always 

encompassed 

by light.

After all,

you wouldn’t 

even know 

what darkness 

was,

if light 

did not 

circumscribe 

its ragged 

edge.

Somewhere 

now,

even in 

the darkest 

night,

fire burns,

light is 

kindled,

candles 

are lit,

and minds 

and hearts

are illumined

by grace,

making lives 

glitter,

like gilded letters 

animating 

the text 

of everyday 

life

in our 

always

flickered passing

towards 

the ever after

page 

of peace.
