Light
O light! You were meant to kindle-
The path of light with your flame,
But you burn me from top to toe
With desires over which, I should have no claim.
Too early in life, your strong power
Showed me the length of the difficult road,
So did it show the lanes and
Passers-by estranging out of hold.
O light! You didn’t lend me vision
You simply dazzled me with zest for life and passion.
You never did what I lit you for
But still today I am again in your dire need,
You are meant to warm and comfort…
But in thy beholder you sow,
Impatient ambition’s seed!
