Francis J Grasso Poet Quatrain

Perfect Light

Oh, star that shines the perfect light
Looking down in black of night
When sun and moon have lost the fight
To free a heart and still the fright

Can you see the fear that steals
That robs a soul of all it feels
And to the spirit, as it kneels
Shatter truth the Word reveals

But if the sun would finally rise
On distant hills, in clear blue skies
Could you again with tear-filled eyes
Forgive the demon and the lies

Charlie Smith April 7, 2017 at 2:02 PM Brilliant Quatrain Francis, so well done... Charlie Smith April 13, 2017 at 10:32 PM Almost every time... Francis J Grasso April 9, 2017 at 6:09 AM Hi, Charlie. Thank you for your kind words. Funny thing about this poem, and others of mine as well! I needed to read it 15 or more times before I got a vividly clear picture of what it said to me. And then I wonder how the words got put together in that manner in the first place. Your poetry is beautiful. Does it sometimes bring out these same thoughts in you?
