Truthful light,
how do you shine?
Shrouding dark,
dare you blind us?
Do you care at all?
Do you see me?
Do you shine upon me?
I know what must happen,
though I am too afraid to admit.
The essence of life fails,
slips from the grasp of my pale fingers.
I never understood,
but I do now.
See, understand,
believe.
