To the Light
by
Hector Rafael Montes
So many times
The light darken the natural sight,
With its great shine…
But perhaps…
It is not really, the shine of illumination,
What closes our physical eyes
And…
Opens the eyes of our soul?
Is it not the great shine of God’s Sun…
What wakes us in the morning?
There is a Light that shines
And there is another that makes us blind
Let’s be prudent
But I don’t think, that there is a light
That can make us blinder
Than the selfishness one
Like the human pride
Because the selfishness is something
That causes us
Not to see others
Only… ourselves
And also the pride is in some people
A Light that makes them blind
There is a Light that is personal
It has a very particular shine
In itself
And for some
There is no a brighter light
Like the one about their vanity
And that is a false light
A deceiving light
The so called light of infatuation
The Light of the truth
Is like the light of the splendor
The blazing Light of the divine soul
The Light that makes us strong
The light that clarifies and give us hope
There is no Light that dress us better
Like the Light of honesty
Of humility
The humble is sweet
Its personality is likeable
Its nobility is notable
The pride and arrogance
Rejects and repels
The selfishness isolates
Each one sees themselves in their own mirror
The way they want others to see them
In their world they are perfect
Not caring about their faults
But, God’s light
Is the one that discriminate
It shows our own identity
Without any mask.
Without... any disguise
