"Even as I burn, So brightly, I still,……" — Eric Nickel
"Even as I burn, So brightly, I still, As we all do, Struggle along, In the Dark, That presses in, From all around me. Most often, Because of the traits I built, The Man I chose to be, My light, Is more than enough, To keep at bay, The Darkness, That hungers, To extinguish, My exquisite Soul. Yet, from time to time, Even I, My light, Is not enough. And I have found, From time to time, Seen, In the distance, A spark, A light, Growing, As it draws near. I do not shrink way, Hide, Run. I embrace it, And find, A like mind, A kindred spirit, An affirmation, That I am not alone, For I have, When I see, Bask, Eyes and heart wide open, A beautiful friend. Together, We rush off giggling, Pushing back the Darkness, To a place, Of beauty, Safety, Comfort, And Peace."
