One Bright Burning Soul

By Henry Coldnight

If you are alone in the dark,
then Light shall be on the other side.
Just because you can't see,
it doesn't mean that you are the only one
in this darkness.
All you have to do
is to reach out
with your arms
with your heart
with your dream
with your voice
with your soul--

It may be true that Light
cannot penetrate the darkness in you
but you'll never know
until you try

And light your soul on fire--
Let it burn! Ah!
What a beautiful Light!
What a beautiful soul!

Now you see
that you do have
a soul
and that soul
has become Hope
for so many other souls
so many other voices
so many other arms
so many other Lights.
