A Simple Beam of Light

Love shine down from the evening sky

A Simple Beam of Light

By Jack Ivey

 

This night doth find my heart a’ beat

Neath pewter skies aloft

Of autumns air a’ tempting sweet

Now swept on winds so soft

 

A single star through clouded mist

Its light of faintest glow

To touch me as I find its scene

An endless thought to show

 

My feet they stand this floating orb

As of this earth I peer

To wonder if one tiny star

Might bring you ever near

 

For if by chance your eyes do find

This beacon shining through

From miles formed of distant plains

I send my love to you

 

A simple beam of light to call

Your waiting heart to me

If only this would seal my fate

As it was meant to be

 

For something it hath parted clear

These clouds which fog my sight

So of this single star I breathe

Your precious love this night

 

And days shall go on passing by

Each season soon to change

In shades of every lonely heart

To offer up their name

 

Yet I for one find happiness

In dreams I’ve held so true

For very soon you’ll come to me

To set my life anew

I can find beautiful love story in the start and there is an isolations, days, months,years, but the feelings remained unchanged. The longing for true love sweetly revealing in this piece. Great Work Jack!

[Jack...]

Thanks Marc, I am happy you enjoyed it.

This is so beautiful and romantic! Your writing is everything poetry was intended to be. I love staring at the night sky, especially the moon. In my opinion, night is the best time of day. Everything's silent and peaceful when everybody else is asleep.

[Jack...]

So true, the most enchanting time of day. Thank you so much.
