When There is Light

By Anonymous (grade 9)

When there is light, 

Laughter spreads like golden rays from wings

Forgetting that time was ticking away

At the other end of the road, 

We play and dance with the sun

When there is light,

A delicate sensation lingers on your hands

The golden hour revives the souls

Aglow the world may be, but I see nothing in those selfish eyes 

When there was light,

You burned me alive

And you only realized till then

That when there is light, 

Darkness still exists to take over the world

From person to person and soul to soul
