Seconds Within Your Light

Seconds Within Your Light

A Poem by Neva Flores Smith - Changefulstorm
"

Coming through the night I feel strange seconds within a familiar light.

"



Coming through the night I feel strange seconds

within a familiar light.

Here is where my imagination led me to think

no one heard my plight.


Still I smiled in wonder, though the darkness

seemed stronger every second.

Because I yearned to hear your words,

know my life was in your presence.


I bade farewell to the night , closed my eyes

let those seconds pass right by.

As that familiar light that came inside,

kept your face within my sight.

There's a moment between wakefulness and sleep, sometimes quite magical, other times almost scary. Maybe, just maybe this is that moment where reality is about to be chased away for a while, when the dormant spiritual is beckoning. And that stores a thought, a person, an event, an emotion with enormous intensity. I don't quite know but this is how your words talk to this reviewer.

Neva...This piece holds special meaning for me, and a place in my heart, because it describes the same moment I can almost feel my lost loved ones arms around me. A soulful and stirring write.

Thank you Shia
The dreams of men belong to God it is said...unless one tends to follow Freud and think everything is about sex. Personally I think Freud was a cocaine addicted genius with an overactive imagination and libido. The work Jung did on dreams and his development of archetypes is very interesting in its parallel to Aboriginal thinking. The aboriginals believe the world was created in Dream Time and that the world is connected by and lives are formed of songlines. I adore those thoughts. I like the idea that my life is a verse within the universe. This is very lovely.

What a delicious, deceptive simplicity you are weaving these days, Neva. You've whetted your craft to a keener sharpness without losing the etherial beauty of image that has been your calling-card since first I read you. It's an inspiration to watch a poet of your grace strive for better...and achieve it. Well, well done.
