Inescapable Light
She was an inescapable light,
bright and burning like the sun
but not as cruel: she called Icarus to her
instead of letting him plunge
into the ocean cool.
She was an inescapable light,
bright and far reaching like the sun,
sneaking through their curtains, into their hearts
and leaving a warm embrace behind
with her smile.
She was an inescapable light,
bright and fierce and blaring hope
like the sun. She fought when they struggled,
she fought when they gave up,
she fought when they cowered behind her back:
the stars that took their light from her, the sun.
She was an inescapable light,
bright and burning like the sun,
refusing to go out so the stars could call
and twinkle and eventually light up again,
light the sky with her, together, all around.
