Illumination to Loom a Nation

let each of us spin
a thread of light so fine,
a shining filament that trails us
as we go about our day

let us bear this brightness
back and forth
back and forth
like fiber optic shuttles

delivering truth
through the darkened warp
of infinite night,
through the toxic terrains
that ache to heal:
our homes
our towns
our nation

let us exile fear and exhale light
back and forth
back and forth
like spiders weaving the Dawn
