BODY Image Poem: Light Man, by Michael D. Rourke

He doesn’t sing or play guitar
By no means a rock-and-roll star
Works with the band out all night
Creates a mood with shades of light

Listen how the words tell time
Paint a picture sing a rhyme
Flip a switch for harmony
Adding blue in memory

Light Man, running to have fun, you let her love go
Light Man, hurt has now begun, now you can know

Light Man, damage far from done, pain is a shadow
Light Man, waiting for the one, one day love will glow

A place a face, on display
Investing love, isn’t easy
The tune of life, plays today
Pray the Lord for a symphony

Hear his story how it’s told
He misses her heart of gold
His regret shows amber red
He can’t take back what he said

Sometimes when they play his song
Starts out right ends up wrong
Showing love in shades of blue
Lets it fade with thoughts of two
