Light of the Night

I noticed a glimmer,
or was it a shimmer,
right here with me,
in this very room.

The sparkle of charcoal,
held high, but suspended,
catching the eyes 
and slicing the loom.

Creating a place,
inspiring grace,
embodied in each smile,
and each desire to linger awhile.

Indescribable power,
a leading light tower,
in the eye's of the tiger,
the man with the dream of the hour.

Thanks for writing real poetry that is not all about "heart breaking" relationships involving perpetual partner switching and how you are a little boy or a little girl who has God or how you are somehow only a sex life. Thank you, as in thank you, as in EXTREMELY abundant thank yous. I might go write some more nasty poetry about politics over you, incredibly wonderful dude!
