Work Text:

The Porch Light
By Joan E. Pierce
Louisville, Kentucky, USA

I turn on the porch light
a small light in
the vastness of the dark
to show my courage,
my faith, my sorrow, my strength.

Light is what darkness fears.
The glory of light chases
shadows back into darkness
and then, into nothingness.

I turn on the porch light
to show that, despite my fear,
my tears, my anger,
I will not let darkness win.

I turn on the porch light.
