A little light


  Oh, dear candle lit so sweetly from within,
   I fear your presence as the darkest night,
    shadowless and constant from being so tightly woven
   together with ashen threads.
  
   I fear your mark upon my already marred flesh.
   I fear the existence of your soul in this callused
   and angry world.
   I fear I lack the tools to complete you.
   I fear the telling of this,
    a most preciously kept secret.

  But most of all,
   I fear for the solitude of it all,
   the unforeseen,
   not knowing what this will mean in my life.

   It isn't that I don't love you,
   I shall,
   always and forever.
  
   It is just that I can't seem to place where you
    belong in all of this hopeless mess
    or why god has chosen me
     to be the river that carries you into the raging sea...
