The Light – Written Sunday 24th July 2005 (Aged 30)

The Light

sometimes in the distance
if you look hard enough
there is a light
it takes curiosity and courage
to follow the light
to reach the light
to climb its stairs
to hold onto rails so tight
many years ago now
i saw my own light
just above an enlightened door
i held that light in my hand
i still cannot believe what i saw
sometimes in the distance
just out of reach
words on the edge of my lips
just out of grasp
just beyond my fingertips
there is a light,
it does not have to be a god
it could just be self belief
all you have to know
is that it is within reach
climb its welcoming stairs
into the lounge of self belief
