A Modicum Of Sunlight

A modicum of sunlight reflected off the moon
is all it takes to illuminate that which you fear to see.
Watch it.
Watch it burn in that modicum of sunlight.

Go beyond the barriers you've set yourself and see
the world you've hidden from plain sight.
Let it speak to thee.
Let it uncover the grave of secrets that lie beneath.
Let it into your closet
that modicum of sunlight.

Let it shine upon the darkness
that makes a mortal of you.
Let it break dawn
upon the thoughts that needn't rhyme.

What you see is merely a reflection
of that modicum of sunlight reflected off the moon
then off your closet, you choose not to see.

It is the universe in a sealed envelope
marked, stamped and addressed to you.

You slimy bastard.
You choose to ignore the truth staring at you.
That love is not the only thing.
That there's more than it to you.

Let it settle upon you that modicum of sunlight.
Let it reflect you in some true light.
Let it see what you've known.
Let it explore your shallow unknown.
Let it know that you're a mystery.
And that you shall reap what you've sown.

Come watch that modicum of sunlight
as it shows what you've hidden for long.
What you've lost is time
that only to you does belong.
