Path of light

Of course I’m scared,

Of course I’m bleak.

Every breath takes something,

Something that once made me unique.

With each new dawn,

A fire.

With each new dusk,

A drowning.

Anger is in the sun,

Despair is in my cold tears.

And so is balance,

Now the ugliest of words,

I vacillate in the extremes

Never to be myself again.

So how does one win,

Win a war ingrained in us?

Let nukelight purify you,

Let black seas carry you too?

One could patch the wounds,

A gold thread with a black head.

Tend to yourself in quiet,

Let the world sort itself out.

But I can’t.

I made my choice long ago.

The wind called me as a child,

I no longer feel it in the trees.

I now feel fire in my heart,

Love and anger burning me.

In the light I burn a path,

A path among those kind old trees.

No shade touches me,

Only light is all I see.
