Seed of Light

The darkness,
The deepness
of the night,
swallows me.

I grope, I crawl.
My breath runs out.
Exhaustion and confusion,
I crumple to the ground.

Foot steps,
Foot steps!
They come
nearer.

A light in the darkness,
my Savior has come!
I look up, and see
darkness around me.

The light,
The light!
Where has
it gone?

Darkness,
Darkness!
The light is within me!
Another needs the light I bear!
Another struggling soul!

I must get up,
so I crawl,
I walk,
I run!

To find the others
who will need
the help and light
from my small seed.

My seed
of light,
of hope,
belief,
and trust.
