BY THE LIVING LIGHT

HOW DEATH reaches into weakness
when Life is dark ~~ do not be weak
for death but strong for Life; how
old age and mental images rage
and how once known by birth
a baby knows it should not die
by the painful feeling of birth
as those strongest dying by a single
ember feeling the dying light – that
no feeling dying is just for good men
how frail now they rage | how earned
some fortunes and others pennies
all are equally blinded by the Light
and you, my father, there cursed
but saved by the Light / rage/  
by the living Light.
