this little light of mine... ♫

You would struggle so hard
even for a moment

to box me

to frame me

to own me

in thoughts

in words

your 'near'
your 'far'
your 'mine'
your 'yours'
your 'right'
your 'wrong'
your 'truth'
your 'lies'

and more?

You would fight to bind me

to confine me

to slow me down

"what for?"

You would have me

apologize

for all the world

out side your

acceptable spaces and

you would

blame

that i remind you

of More?

my cheap words
written spoken in
surround-sound stereo

I share with all of you for "free-99"

will you

let it go

to waste?

the message is
never mine

i fight in "dark" places bent backwords without breaking
without braking

all these people with dark faces
call me a knight of all races the
night of old graces a
knight of hard chases the
night ending ender of justice's lost cases a
knight-"light" for life through this fear metastasis

will.we.you.i
let.it.shine?
let.it.shine?
let.it.shine?

i do sing yet
every day
maybe not in every way
but then. . .

You would

shoot me

maybe I'm your messenger?

my duty is never to your fear


here, hear:

This little light of mine
I'm gonna let it shine

This little light of mine
I'm gonna let it shine

This little light of mine
I'm gonna let it shine

let it shine,
let it shine,
let it shine!

. . . is a song my grandmother
sang to me
bouncing me
on her leg,
even after the surgery
dying from cancer she
and still he

lived "like she was dying"she
loved fearlessly

left silently
left breathlessly

showed me
and let me be me
back then like tomorrow I was ready to see
I felt the fight of the "light" that lay ahead of me

understanding

was never meant for me
how was I meant to be?

you will never see
through mental enmity
your oldest jealousy
it's not me you see
I'm not your enemy

i :: am :: a mirror
made for reflection
just an enzyme
look to me to see
those places you deny introspection

i :: say :: "let's FIGHT"
for ever in a joint direction:

some day
some way

just be?

and there we'll be
finally

let it shine?
