And light is a theme in this book and many of my poems.
This is the next to last poem.
And the idea is that light requires eyes.
What is the point of light if there are no eyes to see it?
The force that sends light,
May it find me,
May it find my eyes, illuminate my mind, gladden my waning days,
May the one who writes in the book of life inscribe my name
among the poets,
May I learn to read it,
May my humble request for more light, more time be honored.
