Beacon of Brilliance- Reading

There's a light you can see
in the distance at night
when all the power is off;
and it shines with a passion
in it's glorious flight.
This beam
is a beacon of brilliance.

Now I travelled the world
for a hundred long years
to find the source of this brilliant sight,
and I fought my way through
equal measure of fears
for this beam,
this beacon of brilliance.

A mirror, I found,
upon which I glanced,
there to find a stone-carved inscription:
"Many toils you have challenged
and dangers you've chanced
to find yourself,
a beacon of brilliance."
