Poetry Challenge Day 10: The (blank) That (blank)



The Word That Can Save The World


God said let there be LIGHT
    And there was LIGHT
An interesting word to start all of this
    Did he know that darkness
would be created, too?

Consider how we plant street lights
    Leave TVs on as we sleep
    Candles burn for
        dinner
        romance
        fragrance
        and to pray

You would think that LIGHT was the most
    powerful word in the world
let your light shine
Be a part of 
a thousand points of light

But the darkness never seems to fade
It dances on the edge
    of every day
We can not illuminate enough to remove all shadows

LIGHT is not the word that will save the world

LOVE is

LOVE is the word that will save the world

LOVE is...
