Lamps
July 26, 2017
Amongst the glistening orange horizon, a light breaks through
Bleeding over the land through dark, through fog and even on you
It’s a beam, its hope and it’s a million worlds away
Its formally known as the sun to me and you and everyone I guess
But it appears that down here you have other plans
Fires, lanterns all shine in a powerful dance
In dark hours, in places I would never even glance
A flicker of light pours from their lamps
