Light Bearer
By dalphon
What good does it do
To be a shining light,
If you only stay
in places
with others just as bright?
Blinding any who
behold the sight.
Everyone sees my luminousity,
but still
call me a curiosity.
I carry my light deep into the dark,
bringing warmth and sight,
to the lost and blind.
You
would condemn these people,
because they live not under your steeple.
The only sin they have commited,
is being unloved.
Why
then am I chastized?
Why am I so hated,
When I put my light
to work
for those whos own light
has been traded?
They are gave up their inner light,
for the one thing they thought
was right.
Love.
And the love that they got,
was never
the one they sought.
Endure torture for a single chance,
at the one thing you light bearers,
have neglected and forsaken.
Love those lost in the dark,
Give them a chance for a new
start.
Stop gathering together,
in hopes of seeming much
brighter.
Your light is faded in the sun.
Come with me
into the darkness,
and for once, forget about the gods, and anything
coming after.
And give someone, in need, some joy, and maybe a little
fun.

This message is deep. We must not be so selfish, give light to the ones who lost their way to bring harmony

The last verse and the comment of the author - maybe the best bits of this Work. Tragic, true and good reading for any sleepless night.

As a bearer of light, I relate. The Authors Note was enjoyed just as much as the poem. Some insight found. Thanks.
