The Light Shines

The light shines above your head alone
and all the signs point the way back
to that ephemeral moment
etched upon this heart of stone
when I looked deep into your eyes and saw
my soul reflected within those mirrored pools
pointing me, pushing me

back
back
back

to that one original wild
untamed unrehearsed
devastatingly significant
moment in time
when I first heard the light
pierce the fertile seed

and all of my inner knowing was born.
