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
