Relative Something

*this* John W. Hays' take on things and experiences

Little Lights

with 2 comments


Little lights
scattered
underneath the night
echoing something
not quite right
things coming to this
after all these years
we’ve had to fight
for principles like peace
real understanding
and an abolishment
of fear and blind suspicion
but right or wrong
the balance of light and dark
persists forevermore
let’s combine our lights
and hang out together
in the warmth and love galore
while those much less inspired
brood in their doom and gloom
on the far side of the room
like dust destined to settle
as we sing
our hopeful tunes

  1. Thanks, Rosie! I was starting to feel a few too many doomers and gloomers squeezing my light space…

  2. John, I like this suggestion for approaching the differences that prevail in our everyday lives.
