Frozen Light

I never thought it likely dear
Light could stop like a frozen gear.
To freeze it, to a non exist
To store it, for a new enlist.

But its been done much to my awe
They stop it dead to start once more.
A truth I've learned symbolicly
With pen and ink in poetry.

A truth I once was blinded to
A truth I searched and never knew.
A truth that opened up a way
To keep you in my heart to stay.

No longer do I tear your loss
No longer do I bare that cross.
But understand the way of light
The start and stop of souls in flight.

To most you are beyond my say
But I awake you every day.

What a marvelous way you have found to stop time and light, to hold in remembrance a loved one!  I will have to read more of your work.
