Ode to salt lamp.
Bright
Filling my room with a soft heavenly glow
A speck of light in the darkness of night.
You are calm
An essence of life
Your light sought after by everyone
An amber glow relaxing the soul
Your warmth healing my heart
Keeping me safe as I sleep
Taking away my negative dreams
Cleaning the air I breathe
Soothing my being
Emitting a sense of peace
Bright
