Whether to ignite or obscure


A patch of sun to brighten a foggy day 
Ignites a tiny section 
 Of the tree that looms ahead 
And leaves a tiny patch of light 
On the asphalt road below 
While at the same time bringing 
 A more subtle cast of light to our surroundings, 
In which every drop of fog 
Creates a sense of mystery, 
Obscuring what’s ahead. 
Each of us carries light within: 
The choice is always ours, 
Whether to ignite or to obscure 
With that power.
