Persistent Light

The light stood erect in the moonlight

Attempting to project its glare

Onto the damp bay

Struggling glint cutting in bits and pieces

By the selfless oak shining in the spotlight

And as I observed through broken glass

I raise concern and a sense of identity with the persistent light

If I should admire all that survives

all that clears the ridged paths

In vigorous praise or failure
