Prize

the bright light

shines forth onto

a sea of undaunting stars

in  murky and clouded thinking

troubled by pain I cannot submerse

because of yesterday

but today is a new day

for I have life

with my new hat

I set forth on inconceivable ventures

prompted by my love

which carries me

onward to new lands

to search for those

who have not heard

of the prize and

to share with them

my priceless joy

of dancing jellybeans

and flashing lights

of soft snow

and scorching heat

of peaceful tranquility

and a burning deep inside

to share my hope

with you
