Dark Light

When the poetic voice calls, do not fear  
Simply listen and let the words draw near  
Though language may seem insufficient  
Through effort, we become proficient  

Life may be grim, our hearts calloused  
But within us, creativity is housed  
Awaken to the present, and allow  
New potential in this moment now  

Use your hands, your ears, and your eyes  
Perceive radiance that shines and never dies  
Though we may struggle through a cloudy veil  
The cause of strife is ignorance, may it not prevail  
  
All who seek refuge in this art will rise  
This is more than mere surmise  
So let imagination be your guide  
May inspiration become a source of pride
