Iris E. Sankey- Lewis Poet Light Verse

Notes About The Poem

Light and Life

Gone are days of haze
When a safe space beckoned like grave
Where finality of pain leaves no trace

Light of life I felt
Bathing me with radiant warmth
That melted my ghostly fears

And then I thought, wow!
The Source is in touch right now
Or I, with It, when I bowed
To life as gift, and made one vow

Light and life is in the Word.

Darlene Gifford December 15, 2014 at 12:54 PM In your poem you describe a wonderful place to be. When we are with the (source), as you call it, or God, as I call it, we are in a wonderful place. And life is truly a gift!
