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.

A very soft and loving write, perhaps one of someone daydreaming. Very easily read, the rhythm is great.

thank you Becky, I steered back into the way I wrote poetry when I first began 3 years ago.
This to me sounds like a dream, dreaming of someone who has either moved on to the next phase in the soul's journey or of someone who moved physically in a different direction in this life on earth. It has deep tones of longing mixed with a sprinkle of calm. Beautifully written in your own unique voice and tone that I have come to love reading over the years. I oddly find something soothing about this piece. maybe it is the word choices and the slow flow of the piece.

A very strong poem can be interpreted in many ways...
different for different readers based on their experiences....
for me...speaks of a deep tender love between two souls :)

thank you Yas, I thought you had left us. Good to see you.
Here you are, capturing the moment,all moments of beauty in thought, bound together in your words,removing time ,removing place,adding only grace and purity,what a irresistible flavor, to close my eyes stand in the saddle and let my horse lope through the nights tall grass.You are blessed.

An eloquent description of that fragile moment between asleep and awake. And the artwork just ties it all off. . . Beautiful, simply beautiful.
