The Luminous Light

faint glow

a streak of tiny

proportion

held my eye

to that glimmer of light.

i held my hand in it

and watched as

the hairs on my arm

sway rythmically.

the debris of particles

surrounding it

swirling, tip toeing

round and round

in an almost

careful way...

it is astonishing
how this smallish 
gleam of light-

it's very existence

challenged by the 
darkness around it,

almost engulfed

and overwhelmed.

yet there it lay,
unobscured,

bold, courageous and

impenetrable.
barely a flare
perhaps a flicker,
 but rebellious and
unyielding to the 
aphotic void
surrounding it.
and despite its 
smallness, 
its frailty-
it is able to 
guide the blindest
of men to safety,
to freedom, to an
awakening-
to a light even more
luminous than itself. 
it is astonishing that
it already is a victor 
by nature in every
sense of the word
albeit oft'times
unbeknownst to it.
