Light Poem by Ameen Rihani

Light! Light! let it shine in our hearts, however dark the world nay be.
let it flow from our hearts, however somber the horizons may be.
though i have only a hut in the valley, lit in the night by a meager candle.
my eye reflects in the hut all the light it beholds in the world.
and should the storm blow and uproot my hut as it uproots the trees,
carrying it to the river's mouth,
there is a cave there among the rocks impregnable to the storm.and there
is the light of the sun and the stars
and should the heavens darken and the planets and the stars be eclipsed,
still in this human heart is light eternal.
Let the light shine in our hearts, however somber the horizons may be .
