Let In the Light

I’ve been trying to dispel shivers of grey For today there is beating of wings towards me And I’m surrounded in suffocating bits of uncertainty Seeing dark in the quotidian shadows calling out names I cry meritorious to change the ominous forms lent Instead to see them dancing gossamery friends I see the welcome spill in amber dulcet light Glinting star wishes tapping upon my scared shoulder Teasing effervescence softens my dark horizon shinning Bodies swaying as does a palm frond wave with grace I tiptoe across the bridge to grab onto offered hands Feel the dark tumble-down cobweb crusted steps As day break beckons in a crystalline perfect rose The morning now to measure with uplifted glad heart Fear not the solitude enfolded within but rejoice the day 1st Place Brians select 8 June 8 2020

John, that is probably one of the nicest things for a poet to hear, that their words made a difference and resonated with someone. Thank you so much. xoxo

Jeanne, thank you for teaching me my word for the day (quotidian) and for blessing my morning with this scintillating read. "Rejoice the day" is going to be on my mind all day. Let the light shout down the shadows of uncertainty. I needed this today. Thank you and congrats on your #1 placement with Brian! Hugs ~ John
