The Birth of Light

the Word spoken by God "Let there be light." Jesus, birthed as the Way to God foretold foretold wisdom fulfilled The Light of the World shines then they'll know that I am the Lord hope’s dawn hope’s dawn shattered darkness though rejection prevailed with misunderstanding and hate endless endless hope versus hate Light’s brilliance permeates earth’s backdrop where men find answers choices choices seeking, finding the Way, the Truth, the Life with inexplicable knowledge to grasp to grasp just how a Lamb indeed, the Lamb of God is the Light of the World which bears the truth

Dear poetic soul, so nice to read a very different take on this prompt, as i just posted for this too, what i love the most about this is how youv written a cinquain chain, and also i loved the lines “endless hope versus hate light’s brilliance permeates earth’s backdrop where men make choices” lights brilliance always would permeate once we let hope and faith be out guide! Brilliant take: best wishes for the contest: pleasure reading your interpretation; sending you light always

Thank you, Ink. I feel honored to read your comment. I’m working on a piece called The Axe Boasts. It details the arrogance with which we poets take credit for the glory which rightfully belongs to our Muse - God Almighty. He is my Inspiration. Nevertheless I do appreciate your support and encouragement very much.
