darkness_answers_to_light

all the time
all of the effort
the intrepid attempt to decipher
the strange words on these ancient walls
having only the benefit
of the tiny flame
from a single solitary candle.

in my heart i know
there is meaning here,

that i cannot see,
that i cannot understand.

these random connotations
in the obscure light
of this near darkness
make no sense.

why me?
why now?
what for?
why you?

in despair, i look up towards the heavens,

i reach for my God.

and i pray for help.

and then
suddenly,
there it is.

a single dangling string
seeming to float
above my outstretched fingertips

i see it.
i do.

i fear it.
i revere it.

and today i grab it
with both hands
and i pull on it with confidence.

expecting what?



it makes a nearly inaudible click...

and then,

all the lights turn on.
