Addie Francis
Standing on the rock, chains begin breaking off
Darkness becomes light.
One step forward, the chains fall off.
Two steps forward, the light shines.
Three steps forward, the darkness becomes a puddle.
Mud beneath my feet, I stomp and splash
Chains disappear into the light
Puddle of darkness dries in the light
Lying down, the light consumes me
Goodbye darkness, hello light.
