Luminescence

 

Luminescence

 

I glanced skyward

soaking in the twinkling’s of the night

So bright did they shine

so penetrating was their light

that I sought to capture them

and plant them in my sight

So I reached

and pleaded

and struggled in flight

to secure them all

and make them my prize

 

Then…

A quickness flashed before my eyes

and trailed away

in a scattering of cries

But I..

I followed it

seeking the bright light

Desiring it more than the rest

So much

that soon I forget

everything else before me

everything

but the brightness

of the light

 

So...

I chased

and followed

begged

‘til I was hollowed

trailing

always one step behind.

The light,

it taunted me

teasing with delight

and then….

It was gone

far from my sight

it left me

alone in the night

 

And I…

Stood in silence

glancing awkwardly

skyward

again, in wonder at my night

a haze formed

hiding the knight’s shine

closing my eyes, I sighed

and listened to the night breath

when my eyes did open

and my sight was renewed

The light I had loved

was removed from the sky

 

But…

gone it was not

for in the fury of my desire

a fervent glow so bright did shine

like diamonds sparkling

smoothly

on trickling river waters

from shadows in mirrored reflections

and my light…

shone purely

from within the depths

of me

But it wasn't really gone... it was always there....
within. We MUST remember this! So hard sometimes..

Outstanding ....! .. and a definite favorite!

Very beautiful, i love it!

[Carmen]

hey this is really beautiful! i am always a stickler about proper line breaks (unless you are stuck in a particular form like palindromes). This had great imagery and I really enjoyed the read. Great job!

My Amber reading this is like taking a trip inside the soul and the beauty of it shines from a million miles away... chasing those dreams and even when they seem to get away never surrender never just lay down and die... let you faith in yourself be your northern star, simply amazing.

Beautifully moving across the expanse of space and time. The format with bold beginnings caused me to pause and breathe before each passage, then it seemed to pick up speed like a ride. Quite brilliant device, and wonderful, colorful words!!!
