Light

 

I came from a lightning bolt cast from the sky
Charring the ground and blinding the night
Not until the tears soaked the ground did the clouds know they cried
Pitying the child- fearing the sight
But I rose from the ashes and looked up to the moon 
Shining on, shimmering on and glistening on the ruins
I kept that light in my pocket- through heartache and strife
And it guided me child for the rest of my life
And I return to the spot where the sky struck the ground
Sweeping  the ash with my fingertips listening to the sound
The ruins are still ruins, but somehow more bright
And I hope it was me who touched them 
And lit them up with my light
