Whispers of Light

Whispers of Light


Whispers of light caress
the edge of darkness’ reign,
rebellion, renewal, transition,
sweet gleam, golden delusion.
Awakening
in fleeting otherworld
the wings of fairy nymphs,
misted clouds of long past
dreams take form
stirred by breath of
siren’s call.
Lovers silhouetted
in the darkness of a light
not yet appeared.
Waiting on the edge
of love faded and love new.
Within the silent darkness
enchantment’s
whispers of light.

John Lawless February 7, 2014 at 7:49 AM Karen, thanks for picking that up I'll edit it as it does read more smoothly with the comma. The line break doesn''t separate the two ideas clearly. Thanks for your input and comment. John

Karen Ruff February 7, 2014 at 7:40 AM I like the idea of the juxtaposition of sound and sight in "whispers of light." Very original, it seems. Something seems to be suggested that is not quite seen. I only have a one question. I was a little confused on how to read the last three lines. Wold that be a comma understood after "darkness". So thus in ordinary English, it would be understood as "withing the silent darkness, enchantment's whispers of light"... ? John Lawless February 7, 2014 at 7:52 AM I wrote this as an entry into the "Whispers of Light" contest before fully reading the format desired. Again, thanks for the input. john Karen Ruff February 7, 2014 at 7:41 AM Sorry for the typo...that should be "would."
