Gold and Shadow
©March 5th, 2016
By Vijaya Sundaram
That reflection you hold
Aloft in your mind’s view?
Find it. Reach it.
Touch it. Understand
It’s the sun.
You’re the one.
(Don’t burn your hand.
Let it teach you.
Don’t let it blind you.)
Turn all into gold.
Don’t let it vanish
Don’t turn your back.
Things can attack
Your dreams. So fight!
Shadows you banish
Come from behind
The light. You’ll find
They gleam. Hold tight!
