Little Light

By Charlotte Miles

Sleepy little being,

Can’t you wake up?

There’s people for you to help, you know.

Glowing little child,

You’ve forgotten your past?

Your heart was too big, as was the cost.

Too long you’ve slept,

You’ve still yet to wake?

That’s quite alright, there’s still time.

Lonely little heart,

Are you trapped in a dream?

You prefer to stay that way, don’t you.

Quiet little light,

You’ve forgotten your wish?

You’ve been gone for too long, now.

Too many years are gone,

Yet you’re still asleep?

You’re running out of time, my dear.

Wake up.
