A light bulb shining from deepest space
surrounded. In the darkest place
would, up close, seem like a star
except now, when viewed from afar
where tiny crystal pricks of light
from centuries or more earlier
would shine as bright
vacuous and scarier.
it would never win the fight
to impress, at least from a distance,
but nonetheless, it keeps on shining.
That same bulb placed as a street light
would ignite
it's surroundings
very well
you'd easily tell
he'd make you feel safe
and would comfort
until the morning
how boring!
where no matter how it shone
it's light upon the world
is all but gone.
Outshone.
But if you kept an eye upon
and saw the glimmer
felt the simmer
and knew that it shone for you.
Would that tiny chink of light do?
Or would you be dazzled by another?
who knows? oh yeah you
my filament is almost through
and I'm dimming by the second.

Quite ambiguous indeed and yet I interpret it in my own logical way. It reminds me of how Jesus is "the light of the world" and many only see him as a candle light compared to the sun (metaphorically speaking). God bless and thank you for this write,
