One Light

One light in the darkness.
One light in a million.
Under vermillion sky - left of the highway.
Left alone as a beacon
For when the flock comes a-running.

One light from a secret leaking house.
One light on no street.
Floating in black,
A glimmer of hope out of a bleak year.
A glimmer of water streaked.
A turtle on its back.

One light on in between nowhere and nothing.
One chalk etching on a charcoal canvas.
A crack in the window casts shadows out.
One light creates ripples for miles.
The clouds on the ground leave reality defiled.

I stopped on the side of the Western.
Out in the darkness
the starkest of lights
left the most awkward of feelings.
Kept me staring at something
That means absolutely nothing
to the motorists and journeymen.

One light at night with no sun
brings sky, water and earth together.
Their similarities bring about false epiphanies.
Brings about frightening realities
of how one light can conduct
such sweet symphonies.
