A Glimpse of Light

My rueful spirit was gowned in a silken shroud of white. Was there no chance my penitent cries had been heard? I searched his pensive eyes for the palest glimpse of light, then he wiped my tears away. His heart had been stirred. Four line poetry contest Sponsor: Constance La France Posted: July 27, 2020

This is the rare sort of verse that titillates me truly. I liked the thematically dense, yet lively rhythmic lines - each passing a scented bit of the overall meaning intended. Congrats!
