The Journey

I am a poem

of the eternal light

that intangible light

that light I know so well



captured in moments

tearing through the clouds

the gift of just one sunbeam

to pierce the shadows



and I know you know ...

as I sit in here in the silence of the day

as it engulfs me ~ being

feeling you across the distance 


I hear the rain

I move toward the sun


alone

captured in moments


something any writer would love.

nice.

[A.A.Romanczuk]

and in that moment, you are suffused with the knowledge that you too are the light
and that moment...gives fuller definition to the word freedom

[Sweet_pale_cacophony]

And always there should be that movement towards light..even if we're crawling towards our light.

[Trigorin]

Not bad. You use some great imagery in this, and the ending is very nicely done. Perhaps a little cliche with 'alone' standing alone, as it were, but you've earned it, I suppose. One note - there were a few too many 'light's in the first stanza for my taste. A little too repetitive. Other than that, well done.

[Siddhartha]

And in that moment everything catalyzes to do your heart's bidding.

one little sunbeam, one little anything, is precious if seen and appreciated; as
always, a wave of the wand in the night, '...the gift of just one sunbeam ~
to pierce the shadows .. '

[Robin]

Thank you for your ray of light Emma

[Veronica Chandler]

This divine spark from the heart of being lifted my spirit and the lines,
"as I sit in here in the silence of the day
as it engulfs me ~ being" moved me to the depth of my own being.
Exquisite.
