Has He Seen The Light? Poem by Mark Heathcote

Have I seen the light?
He who holds a candle-
Lit up at midnight.

Making all things bright
He who holds the candle
Examines my heart…

Is it sunny or dark?
I only ask, impart
So you can remark.

… Has he seen the light?
Has he seen an angel?
… Don't be so contrite.

Please do bedazzle me.
Does he see the light?
Esprit is it brighter tonight.

But just because I see you
It doesn't mean it is light
It doesn't mean I'm a draftee.

I've given up the dark side
I've given up the fight
I'm not a devotee.

I'm just someone clearly
Who's not that prithee
Or generally even, polite.
