breadth of a flashlight

until the day breaks
until the kid wakes
underneath the sun we all sit
waiting for something that is non-existent
playing this game with focus of flashlights
maybe our light will cross once or twice
but paths diverge and once again
we realize we are all alone
that is how we must live our life
to come to terms with self
and yearn for the times when paths cross
because once the light has no source
it is just the self one has to understand
for the remaining eternity.
