Still, whistling wind,
cutting skin like
a whetted knife.
Solid, creeking ice,
freezing numbness, hands
tingling, sea frozen
in pause, glasslike.
Pewter skies part,
for slithers of
light to peep.
He stood on
the pier, unable
to fish, crusting
ice stopping hooks.
Out to sea,
light raced ashore,
moving closer to
him by degrees.
Out of the grey, the sun
shone, the icy
sea dazzled him,
light so bright,
like a sea
of clearest crystal,
overawed him, catching
his breath, inside
his head a
voice gently spoke.
Peter the fisherman,
with the lord's
power, melted the
ice, and told
him to believe
as he cast
to the waters.
Stunned realisation came
to him, belief
moved through him,
like sun through
ice, power shone
within him forever.


Desire for nothing except desirelessness,hope for nothing except to rise above all hopes, want nothing and you will have everything.avatar Meher Baba.

light to peep."

Stand up and take a bow! Superbly written and vividly descriptive! I really got into this poem and it held my rapt attention to the very end!

Love & Crystal Light,
