Night Light

A guiding source of hope
Simple and placid style
A short stroll before the glitter stars
Vast is the lone path of destination


Warm and comforting is its effulgence
Its soft glow an arabesque wonder
A casting light to abate the dour notion
A transcendence from manifold clambers


Vivid rays that astound the nocturnal
A towering lamp like a guardian
That diffuses the dark entourage
A mere and meek splendor


Silent is the locus
As the light greets the sojourn
While the minor dwellings slumber
A vigil is accommodated by the illuminant
