This is a poem which I wrote in 2004.
The Light
The
beautiful still moonlight shines brightly over the landscape
No shadows
veil this serene beauty
Why cannot I
be so still and silent, like this beautiful moonlit night?
Hush,
whisper the sounds of the night
Lest this
wish be granted
Wait, I say
how do I ease my pain
And find my
gain
Is it only
to be found in truth and light?
Wait until
the morning, I hear
See the
light glinting on the leaves of the trees
Know the sun
will shine brightly
And enhance
the beauty which nature decrees
Day and
Night
Night and
Day
Chasing each
other away
Time never
stood still
Now there is
another will
We sang and
we died
The never
ending pattern of life-
The Light of
Day and Night
So fleeting,
The sunny
days of youth passed us by
How deep the
yearning cry
Of Childhood
Dreams
And of lives
unredeemed
Reflecting
on lives well spent
And better
times which went
Of Long
Forgotten yesterdays
Hush
whispers the mother to its young
Stay calm
until the morning comes
Watch the
bird swoop in the morning sky
In the clear
blue light of another day
So graceful
in its flight
In the early
morning light
See how the
sun sparkles on the crest of a sea-wave
Filtering
its way
Through
clouds
And forming
a stream of light
So bright -
For now
From the
time
When we are
born
There is a New
Light on the morn
The glorious
light of a New Easter Dawn
And in the
pale moonlight
I looked out
upon this Land
Which cast
in this ethereal glow
Seemed
etched as though by an Angel’s Hand
Listened to
the sea-waves lapping upon the sand
It all
became so clear
A beautiful
landscape within my sight
I knew such
beauty bestowed upon us
Came from
the Grace of light
