The Ghost of Hopeful Light

Surrender to the wonder

Of the music of the night

While never worrying about

Vanishing out of sight,

Especially since it takes endurance

To overcome a plight,

And dare to become

A beacon of hope

By being as bright as light,

And remember to make amends

Even as night descends,

For the reality of mortality

Can actually create a way

To appreciate every day,

And given the reality

Of supernatural spirits,

Understand how passing away

Is actually natural,

So focus on the fundamental

While doing anything essential

To leave behind an enduring legacy

By living a life filled with beauty
