A Harbored Light For a brief moment I am but a harbored light Stone walls are rising There must come a tomorrow One needs shield this ember’s light For a brief Moment Darkness tries to overwhelm Rains may extinguish From within some voice echoes Desolation is not yours Wretchedness shawls me Something unknown, now my past, Edges rule my road One slip, and if light should fall All slip in obscurity … Night’s winter, wailing A Christmas gift enlightens Love of one’s Father And the daughter takes her hold Her life takes on august goal … For a brief moment I am but a rising light All walls are falling As all shadows are but ways Crises finds for time’s amends ~*~ Dedicated to my Father |

One slip, and if light should fall All slip in obscurity … Night’s winter, wailing A Christmas gift enlightens Love of one’s Father And the daughter takes her hold Her life takes on august goal this was so beatiful and confident belief in self is most essential delightful write there lady poetess |

Not hardly.............. a most lovely return. |

Kari darling heart, now this I like muchly, beautiful imagery here, and full of wisdom too. As I said an absolutely fabulous poem, the flow and the movement within this is perfect. I swear I can feel the light bathing my soul, truly special A safe harbour, Place of refuge From the storm of sorrow That wracked my soul Your hand reaching out The touch of softness Circling my spirit With a warmth A love that will always Hold me Keep me safe So I seek the lights That call me home And feel your touch Here in the confines Of my soul Harbour me forever Keep me safe As you always Have and forever Mushy Tomorrow is another day I don't know what it holds |
