poem of the day January 28 

The spirit of

a single house lamp 

left on all night

illuminates 

the darkness

unaware it is

the only beacon

in a wilderness

void of sun

It shines alone

A welcome comforter

like a lighthouse

on a rocky shore

bringing solace

to all souls inside

Yet when dawn

breaks into day

and the sun shines

through the window

the light of the lamp

seemingly disappears  

Is no longer seen

until night returns 

to a house made of dreams
