Cuts Through

Please don’t let darkness make that light fall dormant
The one that shines brightly, so free from your eyes
That beacon of hope in a sea of blank faces
That draws in lost sailors and guides them to shore
Though it may seem such trouble to serve as oasis
That which you provide is a much needed boon
I can’t speak for all that find their way to your waters
But I will drink lightly and take only so much
And I would give freely that you might know purpose
For it can’t be so easy to hold up that smile
Or to shine on so boldly, but shine on you should
Stand like the lighthouse that cuts through the fog
May you help guide the lost and forsaken back home
