the light
illuminates the corner
out of spite
highlights the emptiness
and underlines the loss.
all the scars come into view
when the light hits at just the right
angle
like a beam across a prism
the spectrum is displayed.
this life
a symptom of disease
a beginning with an end
a brief wind through ancient trees
a fortress no one can defend.
these trials
herculean and daunting
yet cathartic and redeeming
despite the cruelest haunting
the clouds begin receding.
the light
envelops darkness
in a strangling embrace.
i begin to see my shadow
stretched out like a corpse
i catch a glimmer of my life
as i look up from the floor.
