Light

Light is costly

it shows the cracks

reveals the truth

but casts a shadow

Light is where lies

go to die

where the scales

fall off

where friends

and family

and heroes

are lost

Light exacts a price

it challenges you

compels you to leave

behind the murky

darkness of your soil

to grow

to brave

the gnashing teeth of

grazing sheep
