A QUIET BEACON

Time to scratch away
Wondering what will follow tonight
No desperation or hesitation
Miracles of nature, witnessed all day
Am I insignificant?
I wonder, how can I compare?  But
To quit I wouldn’t dare

Manifestation beheld is a gift
Should I not give back?
I am not clogged by any aberration, 
But have a clear view and no excuse,
Nor do I seek one

Sometimes the shrouding can block my vision
But my trained eye looks through 
The thickest cloud and finds an answer
I will talk back, say, get out of my way
These mysteries are bigger than the skies and
Deeper than the ocean
So I absorb and feel gratified

My expression of joy is limited even though
The volume of it that passes through me is overwhelming
I am blessed if that is the question
My observations always fast track to the origin
It is then that I feel humbled
It is then that I know that I must step up and
Be the spire that can be observed not for my notoriety 
But more as a beacon of light for those unable to see

This is duty and accepted
To not would draw close a curtain that would then be the end of me
No worries, my structure is strong, blessings again
I will not suffer fools but take them by the hand and
Lead them to where they can see that their words ring hollow 

Their belief then, in the mystique of life, supersedes all my efforts
I sometimes become the pupil
This is overwhelming
A real gift without a bow
One that we all long for, and will receive eventually 
As we will faith, if fulfilled with reality
