One True Light

The world shook

And I felt the tremor

Fires raged in the City

While my flame died

 

Battered

Beaten

Broken

 

I rose from cinder

Turned my back

To smoking sky

And walked away

 

Barefoot

Bruised

Blistered

 

I walked on pebbles

Forward step by step

Towards the barricade

And a new harbour

 

Warmth

Light

Rest

 

I found respite

A safe place

Storm protected

Calm and cosy

 

Seagulls

Salt-air

Surf

 

I hear wilderness calling

Cut the moorings

Drift out to sea

Dance with the wind

 

Wink

Blink

Think

 

I recognise the beam

The searching signal

Land ahoy!

My one true light
