Tireless champion
of spreading hope,
my sun painted
the color of love
on the skies,
for your eyes,
to see light.
Tireless champion
of spreading hope,
my sun painted
the color of love
on the skies,
for your eyes,
to see light.
I choose to rise above the darkness
that sometimes haunts my thoughts
and welcome the light, with love.
The day unfolded,
quietly,
as your mind drifted,
full of distractions.
A blatant contrast
to the serene light that fell on you,
as you laid out your thoughts
bare,
open like the skies,
infinite with possibilities,
of going anywhere…
but as the light faded into darkness
and the night sang the soft lullaby
you drifted again
to the beginning
or was it the end
in the circle of life.
That dim light of hope
sharp and piercing
kept her heart beating
when all was lost
Let’s celebrate the light in the dark,
let’s celebrate love,
let’s celebrate hope,
let’s celebrate life.
And as the light filtered through,
it called her sleeping dreams to rise
and embrace the world.
In response to my good friend Sue’s Thursday Photo Prompt Glade #writephoto
Stay green, my earth
let lullaby’s of rain
caress your spring…
stay green, my earth
Happy Earth Day, Everyone!
Sometimes,
I step aside
to follow the light
from the skies
as it gently lands
on you
sometimes…
Don’t give up…
on that dream,
sought by your tired eyes,
for even this long lonely night,
will be followed by the light
of day…
the tides rising in your heart will calm,
Keep walking on your way…
Don’t give up,
on you.
Happy Martin Luther King Jr Day! I am posting this again in honor of this great man who inspired us all! I invite you to help us continue his legacy by joining us at our first poetic collaboration challenge for 2017 hosted at the #PoetsforPeace Blog. A Renga Party that promotes compassion… let us all find the light that drives out the darkness.
May the light always find you,
when you are lost to the dark
may you never lose that spark,
of hope in your heart…
Happy Diwali! 🙂
