night needs
wake us
visions
take us
day goes down
and terrors make us
into less
than what we are —
more a lamp than star
life keeps
moving
points need
proving
we need nurture
and improving —
feeble lights
that don’t glow far
more a lamp than star
looking down
on fleeting pleasures
troubles faced
in quarter-measures
folly’s gold
among our treasures
bar by stinking bar
this, my friend, is who we are
way more lamp than star —
more a lamp
than star
“more a lamp than star
life keeps
moving
points need
proving”
right to the heart.
//Nicely put.
