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.

I find them all over the internet especially within art blogs. I also have a huge network of friends online that share beautiful images with me and vice versa. I actually choose an image after I have completed my poem. Sometimes I can find an image that is spot on with my work but in the instance of this piece I could not.
I don't know as far as your question goes.........not as a fact but only in my mind. I have been to those dark places too but thank goodness I have always kept sight of that light in the distance and worked like hell to get away from what will destroy me. Take care my friend.
