started in the dark of night, finished in the light of day
    

Light, Come
Virginia Salter

It’s the world
it has so much
darkness
seeping
in and out
of crevices
hiding
in corners
deepening
closets
shadowing
visions

sun tries
to bring
the light,
moon
reflects
sun’s mood,
stars
sparkle
the night
away,
whether
clouds
shroud
their glow.

so much power
exists
in the light,
so much joy
is embodied
within,
give me
hands to bring
light,
a voice,
to sing light,
feet
to carry me
and
the light,
erasing
darkness,
with Love,
its belonging
its power
its Name

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

I like this one Vas.  I love light.  I am never the one going around the house turning the lights off.  I want it bright.  I buy special bulbs so it will be white light.  and I like poems about light beating back the darkness *S*

Death comes not when we cease to breathe, but when we cease to dream.
