Lights

There are lights

that show the present

reflecting off what is.

There are lights

that show you where you are

with illuminating kiss.

There are lights

that reflect on mistakes you have made

burning a tattoo,

and lights

that show what might have been

if it hadn’t been for you.

There are lights

that blaze a warning

from horizon’s safe resort,

and lights

that show the way to go

and offer after careful thought

a pathway in the glow.
