Tolman http://www.darnuthkeep.com/2009/09/30/my-light-a-poem-by-kelly-d-tolman/ http://www.darnuthkeep.com/2009/09/30/my-light-a-poem-by-kelly-d-tolman/#comments Wed, 30 Sep 2009 12:40:37 +0000 admin http://www.darnuthkeep.com/?p=762 Suddenly there came a thought
As I sat, guided by a silent ray,
To go, to share, to help and pray,
I felt full of desire,
To shine for the world,
But I knew I could not rise.

My inner shell is too tight,
As I sit, still like a brick and listen.
Sparkling insights dance and glisten,
Along the length of my soul.
The spark calls to me.
But no, I must stay instead.

And give my light in drops,
Tiny but effective,
To burn away the loss,

Of those
who need,
or hurt,
or want,
Who pass,
unseen,
unheard,
unloved,
My way,
at home,
at school,
at play.

I will give my light
Free to all who would come until
I am fulfilled, and none
Are left empty, all
Are full.

Only shadows have lost their way.
The mind, the craze,
the simple thought
That brings to me a lighter sense
I love, I know,
but not quite right
A twisted form of midnight light.
