Light More Light

courtesy : google image

When my sadness

Trickles down my cheek

I look up

I hear

My trees singing in bird voice

Wiping my sorrow

Death cannot strangle me

With His stony, icy touch

For the sun’s caress

Warms me

Inside out

Pitch black sky of misery

Fails to engulf me

As joys of memory

Twinkle and glow

My Lord

Let Thy light

Shine in my heart

Till my last breath

    this is the choice we must all make every waking moment.
    whether to rejoice in the beauty of things or wade in the mire.

    Death may indeed batter us, but it is not stronger than the sun which caresses us despite all. And yes, "Let Thy light shine" til one's final breath. This poem has strength to it, Sumana. Kind of reminds me of the song "We Shall Overcome."

    How much hope and strength you have inside you, already, to have warded off that 'Pitch black sky of misery', blinding its darkness with your light.

    Apart from in the kindness in people, Nature is THE place where God's presence is most palpable for me. It is a place where we can hope to find solace and hope.

    Sumana,

    I liked the positivity which unfolded within your poem. Keeping some faith can arest a down moment and help to retain a way forward..Spring flowers and birdsong encourage me too!!!
