THE LIGHT FROM WITHIN

Alone I walk the cave of my night
A black space that no one can enter
Even if they asked

While I dance in a corner
A faint glow cuts me
My shadow appears

I hide away from the beam
The fear takes over
My eyes shut closed

I can sense those pirates
Ready to steal my shadow
Pretending to be their own

They can do what they want
Destroy in vain its shape
Walk all over it

I hold the light
It is my light
I make my shadow

They block my light
I don't care
I cary the light from within me

I allow a beam to escape
So bright my shadow disappear
My spirit shines

Attracted they flock around me
Embarrassed I get it covered
And back to the cave I go
THE LIGHT FROM WITHIN
SHOOTING FOR THE STARS
Between here and the target
Spreads a vastness of unknowns
The time its takes to aim is worthy

A weakness in the arm
And the arrow is crocked
Flying lost worlds away

Getting distracted
By ephemeral shimmers
Is a sure way of missing

They all look so wonderful
Celestial diamonds
Fireworks of the milky way

If you don’t let anything
Blind your vision
You will reach the stars
SHOOTING FOR THE STARS 2001
