What of This Light...

This light reminds me of
Something I saw in a movie once
It's a light that brings with its glow
Many memories of days gone by
Both pleasant and perhaps not so
A sense of comfort and also uncertainty
The way that the rays fall
I remember running through
Fields in this light
Laughing with friends as we
Danced over blankets of daisies
With age the light brings change
And along with it a world unknown
The brother in my life
Who stands to be the light of me
Shudders in the moments of dusk
As he mutters words of the deep
Loneliness that comes with
The light of such a sunset
I do not fear it as he does
Nor do I feel the loneliness
Of which he speaks
I bathe my pores in the light of now
These rays splashing over my body
Over and out with warmth
Enabling life from deep within
Empowerment and courage
The will to dance once more through fields
Wrapped in a daisy-chain
Wearing nothing but my own skin
Free to live and laugh for all the days to come
