Exuberant Light

Exuberant Light

Selfless rays spring from tonal anagrams 
Crystal daybreaks that never know twilight
Released from the pure rhapsody “I Am”
Innocent of intention, free of night,
Nascent from infinity’s essence – light -
Unselfish benediction leaping up		
Vitality born in perfection’s cup
Pure spirit, benevolent chivalry,
Enduring present animas closeup,
Crucible, animation’s ministry.

Breathless, lives without infected judgement,
Simply chanted bliss in the present tense
Torrents of chaste delight’s descant descent 
Dainty clarity, effervescent zest,
Seeks no return – collects no interest -
Unselfish bounty - Eternal always –
Cascading lambent merriment of praise
No need of sun or moon nativity
Incorruptible abundance ablaze
Light sings everlasting festivity.

Andrea Dietrich Date: 11/18/2021 3:16:00 PM gosh you did TWO of these Dizaines? Wow, you are very ambitious and you did very well, Sam. such a lovely theme. Login to Reply Sam Kauffman Date: 11/19/2021 8:52:00 AM Hi Andrea! Thank you for your message. I really appreciate it as the contest theme was challenging - finding something that has no underlying agenda to its existence! To be honest, when I wrote the first version it was not in the Dizain format! Yikes. When I went back to review the contest requirements, I realized my mistake. Back to the drawing board!! I am so glad you like the results of attempt #2! :) Sending you blessings of light my friend!
