The Most Powerful Love

I try to imagine
Something more powerful
Than the beauty of you
More magnetic
Than the light of your being
Something which could draw me in
With such inescapable gravity
As the love I’ve discovered
At the center of your heart

Nothing comes to mind

The Glow of Life

The glow of lights
I see at night
Try to perceive
In light of day
As aural gleam
A sign of this
Candescent life

Night Passage

Sweeping beam
Lights the way
Then guided home
By bell and whistle
Safe harbour waits
Through narrow channel
Between the rocks
Let us not stray

Blue Moon

The dimmest light
Is yet magical

Illumines
The profound

Generous
With mystery

Light ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #133

In the darkness
Sweeping light
So sidle by
Serrated shore
Escorted in
Safe harbour
Waits

Grace Which Offers Hope

Even in the dourest grey
There is a beauty
Calling me
Up to the light
It wrests a smile
From sadness
Grace
Which offers hope
In darkest place
There helps me cope
Then rise
Up into flight
On wing
Up to the clouds
And through them
Sun
Illuminate
The good
I soar
In peace
Tranquility

Occluded Light

I try to let the light in
But the clouds
Occlude it
A dark shroud

The gentle beat of my heart
A metronome
A clockwork

But the thrum of life
Is not the energy of being

Body working; spirit latent

Light and Darkness ~ Shadow, Lattice Wall and Light, Richmond, British Columbia, Canada

Cinematography

With the house lights up
It’s easy to notice
The styrofoam
Its imperfections
The flecks of white
Where it’s chipped

The night woods
So dark
The sunny day
So bright

We master the light
Know the science, the art
The secrets of magic

Never Night

On a world
Forever bright
Never night
The ever-present suns
Bear down
Hammers on
An anvil

Blessed shade and gloom
In an existence
Which fears the light
Grateful for each eclipse
Beauty in the shadows
Mystery in the illumined
Too bright for eyes to see

Imagination ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #129

In the dimness
I saw a monster on my bed
But just a towel
In a jumble
A child’s mind
Trying to make sense

In reflections
I see a dragon breathing fire
But just a building
With a light on
Like the child
Imagination still at play

Should the day come
When I see only what’s there
No monsters, no dragons
Which I playfully must slay
How sad I will be
In a world so plain and grey
