And light is a theme in this
book and many of my poems.

00:00:09.880 --> 00:00:13.120 align:middle line:90%
This is the next to last poem.

00:00:13.120 --> 00:00:15.460 align:middle line:84%
And the idea is that
light requires eyes.

00:00:15.460 --> 00:00:18.880 align:middle line:84%
What is the point of light if
there are no eyes to see it?

00:00:18.880 --> 00:00:22.000 align:middle line:90%
The force that sends light,

00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:23.640 align:middle line:90%
May it find me,

00:00:23.640 --> 00:00:30.960 align:middle line:84%
May it find my eyes, illuminate
my mind, gladden my waning days,

00:00:30.960 --> 00:00:36.320 align:middle line:84%
May the one who writes in the
book of life inscribe my name

00:00:36.320 --> 00:00:38.000 align:middle line:90%
among the poets,

00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:40.800 align:middle line:90%
May I learn to read it,

00:00:40.800 --> 00:00:47.270 align:middle line:84%
May my humble request for more
light, more time be honored.
