he is brilliant, scintillating
riding a massive chariot
trounces darkness all around
so they say
i bask in his cozy warmth
thrive in his coruscating radiance
he’s the protective shield around me
so they say
I am elated when he smiles
I pale when he broods
he’s what lights up my very being
so they believe
but aah! only i know the truth
and so i tell them –
the naysayers
listen carefully, as i speak
besieged i may be by his shadows
with his moods I may wax and wane
but eclipsed forever I am not
and proudly i declare
I will trounce the shadows
I will bounce back
I will light up my own world
