This little light of mine.

Standing alone outside
in the dead of the night,
I look up at the sky
& my attention catches a light.
a sight so nice
not as bright as all the others,
but glowing more beautiful
with hundreds of invigorating colors.
The sparkle of the light matched
the twinkle in my eye,
so I continued to just stare
becoming one with the sky.
I felt something so strong
Sort of like a common bond
& in the blink of an eye
It disappeared…
just like that my light was gone.
I wanted to scream “why?!”
Even wanted to cry,
but instead I just waited
Still looking up at the sky.
Then suddenly my light appeared
as I wiped away my tears,
& as quickly as it came
it left again with all my fears.
I learned to accept sudden leave of absence
me & my light, we mastered
this game of cat & mouse
because in life this is what happens.
My vision was blurred
But I no longer lose my sight
I can see clearly, this lesson
taught to me by my light.
Never be afraid
Although my light went & it came
This is just one light
& every light is not the same.
