Enlightenment

Clear!

Not only did the light shine down on me.

but it also shone upon others

I was not aware of this kind of light.

until I came directly in contact with it

and for a moment in time, the light was mine

and I belonged to the light

Just me and the light

there was no one else present

to take on its fluorescent deposition

and from that light

shone down a beam so penetrative

it woke me up

Woke me up to a foreign voice, saying clear!

And not only was I woken up by this powerful light.

I became awake to the beauty of life.
