In the beginning,
It glowed.
Now,
It glows.
Even then,
It will glow.

That's all it does,
All it ever will do.
Glow.
Nothing more,
Nothing less.

But we are determined to label it,
To give it names that seem right in the moment.
To dissuade the fact that
All it is,
All it does,
Is glow.

Warm glow,
Eerie flash,
Red light,
Bluish tint.
Small light,
Angry gleam.
Dying spark,
Roaring inferno.
Flickering lamp,
Sunny ray.

Streetlight
Lamp light
Fire
Candle
Bulb
Spark
Sun
Stars 
Moon

Every word is wrong,
But every word is right.
It is all of those things,
Yet none of them.

It glows.
