Tricky LightA Poem by Jasmine S. EdwardsDaytime Nighttime Sunlight Moonlight
In the sunlight I feel calm. I feel protected by the light. Nothing is out of sight.
At nighttime I feel cautious. The light is no longer here to guide me. There is nothing I can see around me.
In the daytime, I can go anywhere I want without a fear or a worry.
At nighttime I am limited to pools of light that guide me down the street.
In the daytime I can be in my house alone.
But in the moonlight everything is an unknown.
I try to keep the lights on, but when the power goes out…I’m doomed.
In the daytime I hear no sounds; no squeaks, no creaks, no gusts of wind.
At nighttime I hear everything; every squeak, every creak, every gusts of wind.
In the sunlight I can sit alone in my room, finding many things to keep me busy.
In the moonlight I sit in my room with my eyes constantly scanning.
In the daytime I see light making dust in my room ever so visible, furniture casting shadows on my floor.
In the moonlight I see shadows on my wall that may be someone or nothing at all. © 2013 Jasmine S. Edwards |
