Ray

ray
noun
Middle English, from Anglo-French rai, from Latin radius rod, ray
14th century
1 a: any of the lines of light that appear to radiate from a bright object b: a beam of radiant energy

A spark engulfing and flaming

yet out of my slow reach

but I still grow with it

as it was meant to teach

the ways of happiness in the mind of a child

A bud that consumes

and with the world entwined

I can only be swept up

behind the glass of my mind

and leave notes in the fog behind

Sparkling and intangible

flummoxed as I was 

and now am not

for all because

of this little ray

Growing stronger each day

that I'm away

from the dark night and cold

Avec le monde dans ses paume

comme une perle d'eau

brille si doucement 

c'est le transparent beau.
