Seconds Within Your 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.

It feels the light is that feeling of warmth and love you get in your stomach ands when you closed your eyes you were imagining your loved one as you drifted. Nice

"Because I yearned to hear your words,

i think i could learn a lot from you about the elegance of near-rhymes.
your use of them really is an eloquent touch, and, as in this poem, there are beautiful results.
nicely done on this, neva

Such a beautiful poem. Thanks for sharing! Keep up the good work because I usually need my NEVA fix for the day. And I got it now, so I feel much better. You are so talented. All your writings are so good. My hat's off to you dear friend.

thank you Tarry. I used to write every day but found I needed to back off and review more than I write. We learn much from others.
