Light in Darkness

By: Becky Reilly

A star, bright, sky’s diamond

Yellow, blue, white, green

A shinier object

Mine eyes have not seen



I have not been told

Of a more unique thing

Not light itself, music,

A crystal, a ring



To learn to fly

Reflected in sea

In rippling green

Staring back is only thee



To sing with your sisters

And learning to fly

And shooting stars squander

Their light through the sky



A million small suns

Cannot banish dark blue

But as light enough

We don’t need them to



To swing, to sigh

To live in the sky

To hope, to pray

To rest in the day



Then when the sky flushes

Its bright orange-pink

And twilight blue steals

The sky, bright light winks
