A single light,

Bobbing above the water

Covered in fabric, fire within

Reflecting on the calm sea

There’s a long way to go

It’s been left behind

A little light dim in the shadows

Alone in the darkness

Hovering between day and night

Between friends and enemies

The little light was scared,

Afraid of the secrets in the dark

But it gathered up its bravery

And flew,

Raced across the dark

Flinching at every little thing

But rushing past it

Reunited with its group

Its herd, family

And the lanterns broke the darkness

Boldly, standing strong

Together
