“Light”

The light shines down from the heavens above
Softly carresing my face with the touch of a dove
It surrounds my body, mind, soul
Never leaving me empty, always whole

It is all I see
Within it once more can I be me
No shadows shall I fear
For I know that my angels are near

Within this glorious ray
I will see all the good of my day
For this light shined not only down
But through me and all around

This is gift I will cherish all my days
I will show those in the darkness of my ways
To turn them from their paths of wrongs
To learn to sing the lights songs

It is my purpose, my right
I shall shun all ways of the night
In the light I am perfect, I am wise
I shall watch on as I see the darkness’s demise.


It's too bad I'm not as wonderful a person as people say I am, because the world could use a few people like that.

I've learned that even when you

Calm down there, Allan. Wouldn't want to scare anybody, now would you?  

Very lovely poem you have written, LoneWolf. There's a special quality there when a person can cherish and appreciate light. (without just becoming corny   )


I had a dream once that I could fly and I laughed at everyone and kicked them in the back of the head because they couldn't fly too.

I really like the tone of this piece and the way you present light as a gift that empowers you.  this was really neat, i look forward to reading more.

Sometimes, the things that go unsaid are the only things worth hearing.

Great poem. It reminds me of how I used to write. I really liked this poem. Very well done.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily
