Kai Michael Neumann Poet Free verse

heavy light

would he know the light if there was no darkness
could there be happiness without pain and suffering
might separation and divorce lead to glorious solitude

he has no answers to these questions
yet he sees the light and it not a burning fire
not the light at the end of a tunnel
not head lights of an oncoming train

rather a vast plain with so many directions to chose
a confusing array of possibilities
the Tarot card of death as new beginnings
future on the horizon whichever way he looks
and faith to be practised for real

Kai Michael Neumann February 25, 2026 at 12:53 AM I am opting for the light. And, it is not the list at the end of a tunnel. I am - with a heavy heart in a huge plain and the direction for travel will be revealed to me. Thank you for reading and for your advice.

Kai Michael Neumann February 24, 2026 at 8:14 AM Writing gives me temporary relief from my overwhelming situation, but I would much rather write about happy and joyful situations. Kind wishes and thank you for reading. XXX
