Ye who are enlightened so,
Seek not to pull others from afar
Into your illuminated ring;
Expect not
That any will come
To bask in your luminary glow.
Rather, move around
From darkness to darkness;
Your light source will follow
Staying,
Shining,
Long enough,
That others might feel your warmth
and have light sufficient
to find their own switches.
