Sometimes light

Sometimes light hides herself

In darknesses or other thoughts.

Sometimes light is only

A word and not a wet whit more.

Sometimes light sits behind

A stony bulk and waits and waits.

Sometimes light plays a song

Heard within the darkest of ears.

Sometimes light in singing

Gleams and bounds in space acoustic

Sometimes light emerges through

Ember gray fog and filament.

In those times light exudes

The quality of light itself.

Sometimes light burns aloud

The fuel that keeps us darkness bound.
