Light

Light
When I was lonely
Wandering the silent streets
Of Cyberspace
In the cold and damp
I found this place
Where I could chat
Where I could rest my weary mind
Where I could find
A special place inside my head

Light made me welcome
Light made me laugh
Light made me feel that
I could thaw a little
Open up the ache
The past that I lock behind
A huge wooden door
With a mighty padlock.

Light and I click
We select a new window
And we type away
Slower at first
Because demons are there
And then faster

And faster

Till we are talking at light speed
Full speed ahead.

Light is a friend
A valuable friend
Light and I talk
Its good to talk

Light is special
Light in the dark
I tell Light things
I never think about

Light cares about people
Light cares for the place
We have where we hide from the storm
That rages out there
That can strip you of feeling
Then laugh in your face.

Here in Safe
I can write
Here in Safe
I meet others
And I realise that
Deep down
Safe is important to me
Safe is a place I can go when I am sad
Safe is where I can see Light
Safe matters

Without Safe
Without Light
Without them I would be back on the streets
Of Cyberspace
Alone and afraid
And searching for something
Once more

Always searching
And never finding.

Light
Safe.
