When Light Did ImpartA Poem by Neva Flores Smith - ChangefulstormOur souls all became transparent as glass as we drank in new strength when light did impart.....Twisted within the East we drank in silent footsteps halfway between the days, at least a thousand times. Hidden inside our slumber, visions of strength came into view, through years unkind. Pictures of sweetness lay under everything we saw. No second thoughts drifted from our pillows. Until we wandered into the rains that fell from the shadowed eyes of our unsung heroes. Faded air from the West turned corners, began to shine upon our names. We all confessed from our souls as we watched storm clouds gather at midnight, heard in the sound of our shame. Soft singing was heard from the South emptying love into all of our senses. A sea of wild seeds became an orchard of understanding; storm clouds lifted a thousand footsteps’ defenses. Great treasure came from the North bringing heaven’s hope quietly to fill the holes in our hearts. Our souls all became transparent as glass as we drank in new strength when light did impart. © 2011 Neva Flores Smith - ChangefulstormAuthor's Note
