This Light

there are so many lights in the world. 
there are so many roads
so many ways to go
so many paths.

so many sunsets
so much time
and in the whole great scheme of things,
there's you
and there's me
and our struggles
and our battles
and our light


don't look in the mirror
if you're only going to see the flaws
the breaks
the bandages


you
my dear
could light up central park
there's all this light
our eyes don't see

there are all the stars
the brightness of cities at night
cars on the road

and then there's you

and there's me



and there's our l i g h t
