Desk Lamp- observation poem


Not like a night light, who casts terrible shadows.
Deceptive and haunting.

Not like an overhead light, who is too hard to reach.
Distant and futile.

He likes to read books with me-
Books with lots of words and intricate pictures.

He loves to watch me draw-
He never lies about his opinion.


He lives on my bedside table,
plain and simple.

He sleeps when I sleep
and dreams when I dream.

When I need some clarity,
he is always there for me.
