I listened to the sun talking

About getting up in the early mornings

About warmth, about living life.

Extending itself for the whole day

But not minding because light was good.

I watched as the moon followed me

With great persistence,

Choosing to accompany me wherever I went

Amazing me that I could not hide from it.

It wanted to stand by me for the sun was gone

And it too understood that light was good.

I hear the stars talking to each other

So happy to be lighting a dark world

And as they conversed, their lights seemed to gleam brighter.

Still they talked about traveling to distant lands

But always for the same purpose.

They too had grasp the idea

That a sparkle in the dark could be beautiful.

I have often heard the rainbow singing a happy song

Joyous that the rain had stopped and the dark clouds gone

It sang in a myriad of beautiful colours

Singing and stretching itself across the sky

So that I could hear and see it from a distance

Its colours glittered into view

Throwing more light across the skies

Because what is light if not the hope that all things will be bright.
