Light

It comes and goes.
The difference between a blurry view
and a clear one.
Allowing me to see.
A pinprick in the distance gives me hope.
Its absence can be frightening.
Unable to see.
Unable to move.
Unable to tell if I am still here.
A sudden burst illuminates the world.
Harshly, lacking shadows.
It cannot lie.
Unmasking what was hidden beneath
the darkness.
