Light

How alive the light appears-- bending with the water-- sliding from points of crests; making one wonder if light is only above or somewhere in depth of sea a spirit spark swells until it can do but one thing-surface! This is not morning sun rising; or moon or starlight tempting one to dream-- it is the light that men follow... even onto the cross...

Yes, I agree, Joe. This is a very spiritual write and I can relate to what you say about having 'help' in our writing - a Divine intervention that we are blessed to experience. That's how I feel about a poem of mine that you commented on yesterday; 'Your Sacred Soul Still Calms and Comforts Me' - definitely a Divine intervention to allow me to express my feelings the way I did..

Hi Susan; thank you. One of my favorites as well. Sometimes we are blessed with a work we honestly feel we had help writing. And you know Who I mean was the helper. Blessings my friend!
