From the Light to the Pit and back

in #poetry8 years ago

When it came time 


To let my light shine


I was afraid, yes it’s true


And I dove into the Pit out of view


I feared myself to be


A false light that would mislead thee


In the Pit was where I thought I belonged


Though to be in the Light was what my heart longed


I put on a Silver mask


For my next task


To see from every view


That my light was true


I took off my mask


For my next task


To be in the light


Day and night


Never to deceive


No matter the spell I weave


I’ll never really forget


What I saw in the Pit


It showed me how to be


A better light for thee


A better teacher


Never a preacher


A better guide


To help you reveal what is inside


Yes it’s true, the light in me is the light in you


Shine for me and I’ll shine for you
