A Voice in the Light Down the heavens, thru the clouds, across the winds that churn the night, the velvet darkness pins the sky with stars of a silvern light. At a gallop in the dark, the light rays come, first the fast, then behind come the slow. They both reach the eyes at slight different times and a Twinkle is their impacts aglow. In that blink, some men see their last Hope. In that flash, some men hear their Faith and a dim corner shows my old Courage lost now lit by this messenger of Space. And it seems that the Infinite is speaking to me, Man the infinitely small, that we are both the ends of a cosmic circle not touching but embracing us all and the unmeasured distance between us is the breath of a heartbeat’s sigh winged with a Voice from the velvet darkness locked in the twinkling of an eye. And in the silent and echoless vast uncertain dim of some darkened night when one star blinks and jumps great distance straddled to a cosmic light that hurtles the blackness of a million midnights whose span is a chasmed sea, If you listen for the light, in the twinkling of an eye, it will speak to the dark in thee.

Very nice Namyh. We all have an inner voice that gets inspired by many things. Fabulous metaphors and similes in this I really enjoyed the read. Heavy on ambiguity too so the reader is evoked to think. Eric |

Eric - As if in some form of cosmic communication, the stars twinkling at night have often stopped us in awe of their beauty and surprisingly we unconsciously listen too, just in case there's incoming mail from someone out there. You never know! Makes this old poet glad you found much to enjoy here amid the ambiguities which make us think. Thanks Eric for your Voice. Namyh |

If we all would only listen to the light, surely we all would see better, live better, and do much better! Well done, Namyh! |

Namyh, If we all used the senses that were given to us either separately better together, we would indeed be wise to life and all it gives to us.Enjoyed your thoughts here.Jo |

Booky - Amazing it is that our words speak to different people differently but with a common voice that reaches the heart, spirit and mind. We are poets and should feel very lucky we can touch people with the same hope a priest hears a confession that cleanses, a surgeon removes a harm that hurts, a mechanic replaces a part that fails or a voice in the light transports a message that uplifts. Thanks for enjoying. Namyh |

Jo - That's a grand aim to hope for since we are a young species made of the very same stardust we're looking up to at stars to communicate with. That irony blows even me away. Thanks for enjoying latearrival. Namyh |
