The Light

I look into the light 
Such a majestic light it was 
I stared at it for hours 
Until my mother called my name 
 
I did this routine for days upon days 
Nights upon nights 
But never in my mind 
Did I decide to approach the light 
 
Then one day a thought occurred 
A thought so strange 
A thought so bizarre 
I wondered if it was truly there 
 
That night I saw that light again 
I stared at it once more 
But this time was different 
For I did not resist temptation 
 
I heard my mother scream 
Scream for me to stop 
But I did not listen 
As I stepped into the light
