A shadow without light
Would ne’er a shadow be named
But rather darkness descending
On never ending night
Like moonlight shadows
And shadows with light
A soul’s sore pain echoes
Sweet victory’s delight
One side of a coin
Is one half of a whole
The yin and the yang –
Whole is more than its parts
Bliss is a hammock
Keeping the wide blue ocean
And me company
Purple in nature –
Bursting through the pods that would
Birth the flower child
Strolling along in
The heat of the afternoon
I look up ahead
Triangle of blue
Catches my eye, I would say
Sky blue and it is!
Further up I look
And the blue changes a shade –
Growing light, but why?
Raise my eyes towards
Heaven above, what could be
The possible cause?
There it is, I see
Most stunning, awesome round ball
Vision of pure light
Shining from above
Beaming rays of sunshine warmth
Embracing the earth
My heart once again
Sings out at the miracle
Been given to us
That we would have but
A sun as fine as the one
Shining forth today!
A new day has dawned
The morning sun filtering
Delicately into the room
Bringing its version of light
Beckoning me
To awake and to arise
To emerge myself in the day
That would lie ahead
I hear the chirping of birds
Cars driving by
Melodies of creation far and near
Different sounds of nature’s songs
Filling my heart with
A joyful gladness of being alive
On this new day
A precious gift to humankind
And to creation that would us surround
To have a world that we may enjoy
Graciously thought out in its being
Wondrous marvel
My life could be taken today
What would be my parting words
What would I like my testimony to be?
That I was alive and I lived and felt
Gave thanks and loved
Refusing to hide
Light switch turned on overhead –
Focal point of life
Every night when I close my eyes
Exhausted at having stayed awake
Way past bedtime to write Daily Post
I only have to blink and I’m awake
Morning has arrived and sun greets anew
Where on earth did night escape to?
It rushed by like a train on steam
No patience for passengers
Especially none for ones like me
Who would take advantage
Of night’s midnight hours
To cram in minutes if I may
So please slow down
Dear Night I plead
Allow me to have my way with you
An extra hour or two
Would really, so deliciously
Make one very happy, productive me!
