Night Light

by CindyUng

August 6, 2015

I’d rather stare

At fireworks in the evening,

Than a dark tear

In the midst of a sunlit day.

How charming that a simple glow

Can be shown in a murky being --

Yet is it better to spot a shadow

Lurking in the brightest creature?

The good in the bad or the bad in the good?

At least for the good in the bad,

Flawed predictions of happily ever after

Will fall where it stood.

Whether you’re this or that, I hardly worry.

I’ll keep gazing at these charismatic lights,

These nocturnal sparks.

Some, like me, will often unbury.

Because in all opaqueness, the

Luminous is displayed clearly.

Eye-catching than any other, by merely

Seeking other than the dark.

Even through the Dark Ages

My guidance through this blanket road

Are lead by this thought --

Switched in explorer mode.

Pursuing for more beams

To glow within you and me

Uncovering what we deem to be.

Find me where the heart beats faster and the mind runs clearly. If you turn around, you might catch a glimpse of moonlight: Hold it close and you may hear the whispers of my aches and dreams. Speak softly now, you might scare the strength out of me. You'll never know where my thoughts will go next, just let me be the one driving this journey. Someday I'll return to the stars and sleep in the void, a place where I hope to find colors I've never seen before. And when I master the art of painting into the galaxies of pain and recovery, I will discover the truth in me. I will be free, I will be free. Let the constellations tattoo the spaces of my body. ***If you ever want me to check out your poetry, feel free to let me know!***
