It’s Poetry Friday!
I’ve been thinking a lot about light lately. I usually wake while it’s still dark and love watching the sky slowly brighten. Yesterday I looked out at a world being transformed by a mess of sleet (still beautiful, though), and the line “without darkness there is no light” came to me. It made me think about different kinds of light, especially since I’ve been lighting more candles lately. So I decided to use it to frame my poem.
Light
Without darkness there is no light.
Morning light
sneaks in
peaks over trees
welcomes the day
Candle light
carries warmth
sets an intention
marries glow with hope
Moonlight
gleams
casts beams
offers comfort and peace
Without darkness there is no light.

I hope you enjoy the many lights of the season. Karen has the roundup today here where she encourages profligate kindness (and where I learned a new word!). Be sure to stop by for lots of poetry goodness.

Just love – married glow with hope! Beautiful poem.

All the different ways light can come through darkness. This was a concept that my father loved to work with in his art. He would always say that the darkest dark reveals the brightest light. Wishing you much light this holiday season.

Beautiful, Rose, especially “marries glow with hope.” I love waking before the others in my house and watching night become day, too.

Beautiful poem, but that second stanza in particular has me swooning! I, too, have been thinking about light, but my thoughts have been stitched, rather than written!

The line “marries glow with hope” jumped out at me, too. I’ll think of that when we light the Hanukkah candles tonight.
