Turn of Grace

Sometimes, the shadows linger still despite my fervent plea I long for sun to captivate each thought without delay While in the gray of of silence awaiting turn of grace defenseless often is the eye to summon rainbow’s view Yet, beneath the clouds above I will not long remain For shadows always disappear when thoughts of light endure

Profound thoughts, Mike... This weekend has brought your philosophical talents to the fore... May it bring more... Yet more sunny days too. Happy Sunday, Gershon

We're uplifted when the darkness and shadows disappear life becomes enjoyable once more when the brightness of the light soothes us. Well written Mike. Tom

Enjoyed your excellent poem on light and shadow, Mike. Excellent metaphor, too, for experiencing the good and the bad. I liked the line "defenseless often is the eye" very much. Good writing.
