This is a flickering candle to skylars searchlight, but I thought I'd play the game.
I'm interested to know whether it reads better without the last couplet though.
A signal that a rhythm has been run
Its full course and begins to play again
A sign that time's great battle has been won
At least for now and on this earthly plane
All carries on as ever it has done
And promises to continue the same
Who seeing it could not understand this
For pure white light illuminates the truth
Though through the ages many sage have missed
The deeper wisdom to which it alludes
That burning heat we gently can resist
And stepping in may turn it to our use
We long for light, and relish we the moon
The sun, too bright and garish, can't be viewed.
