Light

In the new moon dark nights, 
When stars twinkle with heavenly light, 
Mind wanders, seeking existence in dark, 
Yearning for a beacon, a path to embark.

Amidst agonies of defeat, life's disarray, 
Darkness prevails in every alley, no ray. 
Yet a smiley beacon of hope shines so bright, 
Guiding the stray traveler through darkest night.

With dawn's first breath, the sun ascends, 
Nighttime fears and loneliness it mends. 
Sunshine breathes life to all in its gaze, 
Flowers, trees, humanity - a vibrant maze.

Without its light, creation would fade, 
Vanish into shadows, a world betrayed.
From ocean's depth to mountains high, 
Light gives life to every corner, touching sky to sky.

Let there be light. Your poem is uplifting Jay as we are reminded that life breathes light into every living thing, Even those that cannot see can feel the warmth of the light and the cold starkness of the shadows. Your poem is a delight. Well done
