Best Beacons Poems


Premium Member Beacons of Light
As long as man has lived upon this Earth
     The quest for beacons of light has endured
Primitive cultures, man’s earliest ancestors
     Found wonder in the moon’s allure

Upon the seas, more advanced civilizations
     Made...

Seven Beacons
Seven beacons, one by one.
It started with the number one son.
He paved the way with tar and gravel.
For sometimes things would just unravel.

Number two, her spirit true.
She always did her best.
But no one get's to always be right.
Sometimes good will lose the fight.

Then number three...

Guiding wandering souls home

Beacons of Hope
Here's one to two great people, my beacons of hope. 
They really cheer me up when everything goes down the slope. 
I owe so much I have to these amazing guys, 
And I really don't know what I'll do if everyone of them dies. 

They're...

I stand before the ocean
a lone beacon
enduring the crash 
of relentless waves 
absorbing their hidden secrets 

Weighted whispered woes
and carried calls for compassion
wear on fragile shoulders
gritting truth behind a smile
where withering resilience hides
 
Navigating the intentions
of those with insatiable thirst 
narcissists crave to drain
the vulnerable...

soft light waves within
a heart of crystalline rays
the darkness abates-
bright vision of flame combusts
angel orbs dispel the haze

The eyes of heavenly beacons
Peek out from amidst the shadows,
Like so many playful stars
Behind a mist-blown sky—
Or the diffuse glow of street lamps
Draped with sculpted snow.
From songbirds to sonatas,
From meteors to mantras,
They veil themselves in fetching garb
And wink at us as a lover....

Beacons of light

haki
taa iko wapi
katika giza kubwa
kwanini jioni
kupofushwa na giza linalo kulia
iwe nyeupe au nyeusi Mwana ainuka
Mungu anatufanya wote kuwa Beacons za nuru

justice
where the light
in the formidable dark
why must the dusk
be blinded by the cries darkness of light 
be it white or black the Son...

The beacons of light
As darkness wriggled into every place,

The land was governed by a veil of silence.

The previous vivid life had left no trace,

All but some crickets singing in defiance.



The mortal realm stood petrified as though

Succumbing to the conquest of the night.

However, in the sky, a tiny glow

Was...

Beacons of hope
There are people who are beacons of hope,
Who keep bitterness at bay,
Despite all that comes their way,
Each and every day.

Of course they feel anger,
Despair, sadness, and loneliness,
And want to scream out loud,
But bitterness they keep at bay,
Each and every day.

Kindness they somehow keep,
Each and every...

RUSTIC BEACONS
overgrown
  crowded busy
shrouded in mist
understated
    austere
stark subtle
     undulating
stripping away
to
near abstraction

a motif
an echo

pitched
   touches
the tonal unity
  until
 disposed
unseen
  interrupts
the minimal mood
     in the shadows
closely
 exploring
  this moment

THIS IS AN OPEN(organic) FORM VERSE without grammatical symbols the ' open' relies upon 'the one breath limitation' & so inherently requires the 'reader' (reciter) to input and respond thus making the form a two way interplay and often a unique interpretation by the enigma...

Beacons..

The unnamed

Neutral..

Seeming goals

Hidden and not..

That's the story

That's already

Nothing
