The Wrong Light
12.18.2017
How many times
Must this story be told
How many tales
Before the lesson is sold
The light from within,
Not the glitter of gold,
Is the brightest to pursue
And that light
It belongs to you
It’s not the lights
In front of your eyes
Certainly none
That money buys
When you find it
Time stops
Yet somehow time flies
Over mountain tops
Across stellar skies
But if to see it
You have to open your eyes
You
You’ve picked the wrong fight
Because it’s the wrong light
Which facet of the diamond face,
Do you not understand,
Won’t send you on an endless chase
Ignoring your demands
The darkness remains
Never part of your plans
Only light from within
Won’t slip through your hands
You
You’ve picked the wrong fight
You’ve fought for the wrong light
More bright
But it won’t blind you
Your inner light
Illuminates
Your inner light
Will bind you
But you
You’ve picked the wrong fight
It may be bright
But it’s the wrong light
The wrong light
