Ashlight


    Sometimes it Hurts
To Live in a Bright Light
Virtue and Kindness
Are Lost to the Pain

    Look for an Ashlight
And find a Middle-Ground
Because You can't always be Right
And You can't always be Wrong

    Perception is Lost
The Labels gone with It
Some things just "Are"--
Not for You to Decide

    Enter the Ashlight
Awake from the Dark Night
Bitterness stings
But it's not All that You are

    Look to a Grey Dawn
With the Eyes of a Newborn
The Black and the White
Are just two Shades of Grey

    Blink within the Ashlight
Let your Eyes Adjust
See others Fairly
And Be who You want
