Lifelight
Sunrise; Your first light.
You scream. Your first words.
They feed and nurture you.
You listen and learn.
By noon you are writing-
Poems, about life and love.
You have lived and loved.
You relished the heat.
Savored the warmth and tenderness.
The evening brings clouds to the sky.
You have learned
that a storm will follow.
The sky is dark and foreboding.
At night, the storm is powerful.
Driving rain and thunder
beat against your window.
You quickly write a few words
about Life and Death.
You fade to black.
