         CHANGE

what is that burning light
oh so far away
is it the end of darkness
is it the break of day

am i a newly planted seed
who'll grow with suns first rays
am i not that withered weed
that once was on display

am i the trickle of a stream
who'll fill with all the rain
and not the dusty river bed
who thirsted for your name

Aye Danny,
The light you see burning, ever so far away,
Is a spot of sparkle in your life,
That darkness would now go away,
Taking take away reasons of strife.

A dusty rived bed, maybe a withered seed,
You may have probably once been,
The rays will lighten you and fulfil your need,
Her name will give you the elixir that changes the scene...

-----

good work Danny, craving and longing is clearly discovered in your words...
Be patient...

Regards, sudhir

 In any moment of decision,
The best thing you can do is the right thing,
The next-best thing is the wrong thing,
And the worst thing you can do is nothing.

Very picturesque Danny ... I loved the comparisons you used and could feel the "dusty river bed" drinking in it's long-awaited life force. Lovely poem!

Best wishes,
/Kit

Remarkable work! Twas so easy to see myself in the scene that you painted here.  Effective meter, and I've always loved the 2/4 rhyming pattern.  Outstanding!!
