Interluminescence

Everytime I sat down to write a poem, this title jumped out of my mind (from where, goddess only knows)... I'm hoping that writing this will help get rid of my Writer's Block...

The candle flickers

in the push of wind.

 

Motion...

Warmth...

Light...

Truth...

Power...

Trust...

Life...

 

All these elements

and an infinity of more

coexist in one simple object.

 

It is lifted upward

by the burdened hand.

 

Speed...

Flight...

Change...

Confusion...

Balance...

Intervention...

Faith...

 

In the moment,

these epic powers converge

in a glowing, living host.

 

It sparks another gentle flame

before its sputtering light dies.

 

Rebirth...

Cycles...

Giving...

Receiving...

Love...

Sharing...

Gifts...

 

A loving act from the leap of faith

passes on the life, heart and soul,

in a timeless miracle.

 

A circle of three candles.

One flame passed on

Like a fiery, blazing legacy

In the dark of the night...

This is wonderful Justin...
It certainly does not seem like you have writer's block,
that's for certain!

I like the how you communicate random
thought ... but it's revolving around one
subject, so really not so random. That
is a difficult thing to communicate without
explaining, and you've managed it perfectly.

Excellent work! Truth is always a pleasure... :)

Beautifully written. Thank you for sharing. Debileah

Good reflective note with wonderful messages learned and imparted every time it is read.

Almost like a holy book, but with far less pages.

A wonderful piece

So, did it help you? Just know, Justin, that everyone experiences writer's block.

I'm with Thomas. This one wants re-reading and often.

There is a lot of soul in these words.

[Thomas James Martin]

Liked the theme and your imagery. Enjoyed it, but need to reread to savor.
