Whispers of Light

Whispers of Light Whispers of light caress the edge of darkness’ reign, rebellion, renewal, transition, sweet gleam, golden delusion. Awakening in fleeting otherworld the wings of fairy nymphs, misted clouds of long past dreams take form stirred by breath of siren’s call. Lovers silhouetted in the darkness of a light not yet appeared. Waiting on the edge of love faded and love new. Within the silent darkness enchantment’s whispers of light. John G. Lawless 2/7/2014

Karen, thanks for picking that up I'll edit it as it does read more smoothly with the comma. The line break doesn''t separate the two ideas clearly. Thanks for your input and comment. John

I like the idea of the juxtaposition of sound and sight in "whispers of light." Very original, it seems. Something seems to be suggested that is not quite seen. I only have a one question. I was a little confused on how to read the last three lines. Wold that be a comma understood after "darkness". So thus in ordinary English, it would be understood as "withing the silent darkness, enchantment's whispers of light"... ?

I wrote this as an entry into the "Whispers of Light" contest before fully reading the format desired. Again, thanks for the input. john

Sorry for the typo...that should be "would."
