After much debate
with myself,
I decided to shine my inner light
out into the world.
I had too few lumens
to cast the faintest shadow.
Under the sun,
I made no difference at all.
Only during storms
did I mark paths for short distances.
For you to see
my inner light’s outward shine
our encounter
must be close enough
for my listening ears
to provide a beacon.
