LevityA Poem by Shifra
Sometime ago I held the sun in the palm of my hand
I felt the levity of its glow I stared so long I lost its meaning blinded by a simultaneous contrast of colors and emotions.... Love trust hatred ignorance innocence regret Now the sun has set all its intrinsic beauty seems to be fading with each days passing. I stay awake hoping to catch a glimpse of what i captured not so long ago. I fear that I will never see the light again. I strain my eyes to see through the darkness groping for stability i stumble to the earth. above me the night sky. Now the moon is full with worry and sorrow I struggle to understand its mystery. I soak up the ardent moon I try to envelope my heart with a tiny fragment of hope Is this to be my fate.... a battle between the sun and the moon? must i suffer through this painful quarrel amongst the heavens or will i fight to manifest my own destiny? © 2011 Shifra |
