Whispers of Light

Whispers of light, now silent scenes
Though eyes have dimmed there is it seems
An inner realm not breached by day 
Where memories ignite the play

Remembered hues from palettes vast
Inspire the views of seasons past      
Etched from shadows froze in time
Enriched by sounds and dreams sublime 

Though light is now a muted muse
It whispers still when thoughts enthuse


Note - This is an early poem of mine that I first thought 
I could rhyme with a sense of cadence.

I'm not always a fan of end rhyme, but this is a rare example of a really good rhyming poem; the word placement is just perfect, and I love that line "though light is now a muted muse" - congrats on your win! :)
