There’s a light coming,
It edges a moment at a time
It says “hold on, draw close, step forward”
It was there in the distance,
Too faint to trust
Never stoked by shut eyes
It flickered, whispered, and dimmed.
It grew. Spurned on by other wide eyes, cheering for attention.
It started to call softly
Fearful shut eyes crept open
I see you they both said
What a sight it was to see, a light burning, eyes glowing
Still far off, the two gazed.
Fearfully moving gainfully forward.
It won’t be long now
It won’t be long now till the two meet
