The Light No One Named
They searched the sky for stars well-known,95Please respect copyright.PENANApm87mqesTn
for suns that burned, for moons that shone.95Please respect copyright.PENANAVTKlOqiPHs
Yet far beyond their measured sight,95Please respect copyright.PENANAKwCVaWSoAg
I drifted on—an unnamed light.
No guiding maps, no traced-out line,95Please respect copyright.PENANA8NWvxTQY2K
no place within their grand design.95Please respect copyright.PENANAHIqN2bjA6X
Yet still, I gleamed, though soft, though far,95Please respect copyright.PENANAwXlff3gqv5
a quiet, untamed kind of star.
For not all flames must blaze in gold,95Please respect copyright.PENANAwR39U0KC5p
nor fit the stories they are told.95Please respect copyright.PENANAN6qBw5nb0a
Some simply shine, in their own way—95Please respect copyright.PENANAtwnIxnMQ42
and that, too, lights the dark away.
