Aspects Of Light

Spontaneous poetry

let there always
always be
this glare from sunlight
on the sea
that lifts all spirits
in distress
that calms and soothes
all restlessness
to sprinkle sparkle
where the mood
of brooding clouds
have done their best
to hamper thoughts
of happiness
to sink the soul
beneath the waves
into the ocean's
darkest caves

We experience sunshine and showers in our lives, including a few storms - both literally and metaphorically! The sun usually shines after a storm, even if not straight away. Looking on the bright side can keep us going! The spontaneity is evident in this poem, I think, Chris. Strange how sometimes we can labour over a poem for days or even weeks (at least, that is often my experience), and yet some poems can be dashed off in 10 minutes or so, with little if any re-writing to be done! A fine write!

Thank you Robert. So true about spontaneous writes. This one took less than ten minutes and yet usually I labour over my words. Strange how that can happen. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts here. You are appreciated.

A kind poem that gifts hope in times of troubled waters. To be a guiding light through the rough storms when all things may seem hopeless. Thank you Chris for this empathetic poem of hope's guiding eternal light.

Light will always be giving that shine in the beacon of hope , It will mend wounded souls and uplift the moods in the most impossible situations . It will shine in the darkest corners and shadows will not remain shadows anymore . This is poem gives us hope that even if in the worst times , there will be light , there will be hope , happiness shining through and hopefully the dark cloud over us will go far away . Thanks for sharing this with us . Its a wonderful poem
