Listen to poem:
The Guardians of the Light
The Guardians of the Light
David J Walker
What is it,
This thing that parts
The natural darkness
In the eternal night
The strike of potassium and
Phosphorous, igniting
The only light
The only bright thing ever known
In this unknown universe
Parting the darkness from the light
As if parting the land from the
Storms of oceans
As if parting fractions and integers
And the body forms of
Men and women
Creating a need to name the dawn and dusk
And the lusty fractious musk of
Attractions of opposites
In flight
A fearful world that swirls
Around as
As if a terrifying carnival ride
As we become the
Guardians of the light
