I Shall Fear No Evil

Stephen Colley

Far better, it is said, to light
A candle than curse the dark around me.
I am the light and I choose my road,
Care not whatever night surrounds me.

And in my spirit I walk alone,
A halo about me, like angels of old.
For what is a halo but a radiant ring,
The light that perpetually circles the soul?
