Lantern
Dimly lit
Light about
To burn out
Hands
Blindly press upon cave wall
Searching
Pleading for my North Star
Sleeping in the dark
Awaking in the dark
Dreaming of a path
An arc
Connecting
Beginning and end
Intersecting
I sit
With lantern lit
To catch a glimpse
Some sense
Some semblance
Of what could be
Exit or entrance
Could such idle time
With no clear path
Be a gift divine
Not punishment rath?
For along the way
Presents received
The presence
Of other lantern holders
With quietly lit embers too
Also searching
For light anew
Perhaps
The North Star
I've searched for
Isn't exhausted in the sky
Out of reaching
Grasping high
But in the Lanterns
When joint together
Burn Fire
Shine Sun
Light star endeavor
Lanterns
Joint together
We awake
Alongside the Embers
No more do I dream
Of the end of this path
But rather
Cherish the arc
No more do I wish
This time bypass
Lanterns held high
Embers gently lit
I cherish this time
The present is a gift
We create our own Sun
North Star
Fire burning bright
For many Lanterns together
Outshine
The darkest night
