Poetry

To the Light

Pull me to the light I ask you
Not the one of death
And crossing over to the other side
But rather the one of life
Of possibility
Not the doom and gloom vortex
That sucks in all the hope
Extinguishes any glimpse
Of brightness and goodness
The web of darkness
Being woven around our planet
Please
Pull me to the light I ask you
I know the irrefutable power
Of seeing illumination
Where only pitch exists
But current circumstance and news
Make the vision dim
Faith and trust slipping
From my fingertips
So I scream
So I plead
So I beg
For the power that knows
To please
Pull me to the light
So that I may grow by it
That I may add to it
And help others to find it
