Write a poem about anything you wish, but end with the line provided.
White Light
Life appeared as a bolt of light
Piercing through the blazen white
Snowflakes thundered under the hue
And it was in that moment that she knew
Take my hand, she said, and hold it tight
We must follow the illuminated bite
Strike me down as only you
Can make me see beyond the blue
The stars are mirrors, and so I see
There is no you, and there is no me
A white expense is all that remains
Ashen are the final drops of day
Take my hand, she said, and hold it tight
For this is our final night
Like Joan of Arc, man made effigy’s burn
There was only one lesson she ever needed to learn
