Best Inspirationallight Poems
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 their way guided by celestial orbs
Eventually creating historic lighthouses
To guide their navigational course
Greeks found solace in a light
Emanating from Mount Olympus
Gods and Goddesses they worshiped
Until the discovery of those truly blessed
God’s light serves as our beacon now
Eternal glow that guides us through storms
And when we discover this light’s power
The spirit of the believer transforms
Satan’s path winds only through darkness
Images of eternal suffering emerge
When we fail to find the beacon of light
And remove the stain of sinful scourge
It is man’s choice to pursue radiance or darkness
The preferred path is usually lit by the bright
For just as early man perceived from the moon
Souls are ever drawn to beacons of light
*For Wounded Words "Eternal Figures" challenge
The Light House.. Shines on
Light keeps shining..
through the darkness
Of the midnight air...
Light glowing ever-so-bright
For the ships to come in on the wings of a tide
While awaiting-
keeping the bright light a-glow
As through the mist of the ocean spray
Along the side of the sea coming in the waves
Awaiting for our ship- to turn in
The Captain.. of the ship Returns
From Sea... to Shining Sea
Our Father of Lights..
Forever Shines on
Divine Light Shine with-in..
Cast out darkness
Spirit with-in..
Forever Shines on-Once your Born-again
Witnessing for others
to come on wings of Angels
A-waiting for Christ..
Keep Light of Faith a-glow
Through life's troubles..
rays of days
Jesus by our side..
coming soon end of days
A-waiting for life here on earth
comes to an end
Jesus Christ Returns..
Rapture takes place
From Earth...
unto God's Grace
Eternity
Come to Jesus Christ
Those whomsoever is already Born-again
Come Shine Your Light..
Bring other's to Christ
For Time is Now at hand..
All God's Children need to make a stand
Come.. Save Soul's across the Land
Keep Your Light Shining Bright
Don't let it go out..
Nor hide it.. or Doubt
Forever Shineth Jesus Everlasting Light
I avoid the light that invades the space of the windows
because it perturbs the nuances of my thoughts:those
frigid sepulchral memories of yesteryears' love lying
uniformly beyond a damp partition of consciousness,trying
to escape as a means of a venerable excuse for me to
decimate this flesh and soul which gives residence to
those effulgent ponders that waver restlessly and tangent
upon the structure of the optimists' creed that was bent
from capricious minds and hypomanic-states to which nothing
states of the verities of the now abysmal dolor which rings
through my heart with incessant intonation of a melody
that schlepps through my senses in remoteness of euphony
which springs forth from mouths of angels vocalizing of their
freedom.And within those octaves I hearken of the loss
of my freedom which I once embraced in the solitude
that abraded piquancy of vibrant day,having worn it away
to evince the cold moments of paltry existence when those
unawakened fleeting thoughts(which are semblable to windows
of graves)allow no memory of yesteryears' love bereft
to evade,and no glint of light to invade the eyes of death.
If I held a candle while the cold and dark wind blew
To light the way along for someone I barely knew
If I held a wise mans hands and listened very still
To know the things he knows. The things I never will
If I held a baby and rocked it through the night
To feel a piece of heaven while I held that child so tight
If I held them until they took that final breath
To comfort and try to ease the dawning of their death
If I held the lips that kissed the hands of fate
To feel the pain and burden of all who passed the gate
If I held the answers to make some rhyme or reason
To meet the very one who makes it another season
If I held a plow to plant upon the hardened earth a seed
To grow tall. Bloom. And millions would it feed
If I held a ladle filled with water from deep within the well
To quench the thirst of all who come to sit for a spell
If I held a prayer an tried to always keep the faith
To show acceptance and like all the others wait
If I held a heart within my grasp just so
To offer up my all only to see it go
If I held and touched a place deep down there inside
To once again take the culprit on yet another ride
If I held on hard and flew into the night
To keep holding on with all my strength and might
If I held up to the light all of my mistakes
To realize how many and they were mine to make
If I held an ear to listen to all the people talk
To watch one by one as out the door they walk
If I held and read all the books of the world
To learn so much for that little tiny pearl
If I held a brush to paint such a pretty picture for the eye
To please all the onlookers as thy aimlessly pass by
If I held a pen to write a thousand words for all to see and hear
To keep my soul grounded as it soars through the air
If I held my breath as I'm laid to rest on the mounded heap
To own all I've sown and what harvest there is to reap
If I held a loom to weave a million dreams come true
To awaken watching angels traversing the sky so blue
If I held the wisdom to know Gods plan for me
To know he sees all my faults and then still grant me peace
Amen

Who was this One born meek and mild,
this infant, Mary’s baby boy child ?
Why was He born in dark of night
beneath the star of brightest light ?
Countless in number the angels sang,
above the hillsides their praises rang.
Below in the fields were those thought least:
frightened shepherds whose wonder never ceased.
Who was this One of whom angels did sing:
the question of those with little to bring.
Even those stabled there knew that this night
because of Him, all would be set right.
Heralded in time by men from the east,
they came with great treasures upon their beasts.
Bowing low before the King of Kings,
they paid Him homage with finer things.
But what was so special about that night,
that which puts Christmas in it’s truest light ?
O, who is this One of majestic worth,
This One with rightful claim to the earth ?
It is almost full moon
and I am surrounded by Earth in the night light,
Up here perched on top of my roof
As if I had no where else to go.
I feel more real up here than I do down there,
Yet I am isolated and still
as night’s air hangs on my skin while moon’s light absorbs me
into the life we forget as we go about our day.
Songs of crickets in the ground wash over the noisy sea
Beneath the idea I live as me.
I peer through your open window
Distracted by the colour of your TV,
Cars in the streets, people pacing in their homes.
But moon’s light absorbs me away
Into the dark blue sky of stars
Abundant above in absolute adoration…
And I am in awe.
Why not this reality set me free?
Why am I bound by day and all its modern technology?
My spirit is weeping.
The longer I sit upon my roof
The clearer I see through dark trees and vast seas
Alone with the sounds of the night’s world
my being years for inner peace.
Don’t look for me when I am gone
I was never really here.
A temporal visitor from God knows where.
Sparked into awareness
an apprentice of continuation.
Dissipated like a grain of salt
in the endless ocean of imagined existence,
I am.
Carried on the cosmic wind
I dust the shores of other karma's
touching and partaking
in the unbearable light of a somewhere else.
Oblivious to past and present
and blinded by the light of being.
Do not look for me
I cannot be found
but when next we meet,
together we will own the universe.
-Night and day-
A tug and pull of lovers never entwined,
-Beauty and force-
The caress and the crave,
As the sun fades beneath the dawn
And the light slowly retreats
The night, edging forward
Seeking to touch, to grasp
But too late, as the light fades away:
And it is here… the darkness has settled-
And the dark is omnipresent
A depth of universe
So vast, so full of stars and worlds
So enshrouding, a blanket of secrets and untold deeds
So grand and great
So mighty, unquestionable
Inevitable
For the dark to encroach, encompass and overwhelm;
This night
It stands all around us
With no peers or equals
The light long gone, long faded
And the night, it waits till the fawning of the sun
The first sign of light
To fade away
Alone, every night
In its grandeur,
Alone.
who will come when you are sad who will come when you are mad? Who will come when you
are glad?Noone will come ...you must find within yourself yourself the true meaning of your
feelings.Noone else can change the way you feel you must change it . look beyond and see
the golden light .you will soon see that you need not be afraid.when you find the light keep it
a glow.when you find the dark let it go. fireflies will be fireflies and nightbirds will be
nightbirds. As clever as a mouse and as sneaky as a hen with her eggs don't hide your
feelings let them out.
While Watching the Dark Clouds
While watching the sky and its amazing dark clouds,
I was lost for a while in the diffusing Sunlight,
Coming from behind the engulfed Sun,
Penetrating it somewhere, without much success,
However, silently the Sun kept on trying and moving,
In spite of all the dark clouds,
Hovering all around it and were trying to fear the Sun,
By their shapes and dark sings.
But the clouds could not block the movements of the Sun,
And its life giving light for more than
Few moments.
It assured me once again in my faith,
That darkness can never be a
A permanent fate.
Sooner or later the light brings alive the life,
Even if, it is in extreme darkness.

Let there be light
Where no lights can be
Let there be heart
When your love cannot see
Let there be sun
That all eyes can feel
Let there be warmth
To allow us to heal
Let there be hope
Where all should kneel
Let there be love
At everyone's next meal
Let there be light
That reflects from the sea
Your face and mine
Smiling outwardly free
Let there be harmony
To better this place
Understanding and peace
And no arms race
Let there be friendship
Stretching land to land
Working together
With common command
Have i come to the end in the
journey of life.
i no longer know wich way my path
seems to go on.
could it mean that this is the end of
my forgotten life.
All i see is darkness so i sit and wait
for the end to come.
But as i close my eyes and the only
one in my mind is God.
I hear a sweet voice in my hear
telling me that there is a way out.
So i open my eyes and notice its still
dark all around.
i close my eyes again and let the
sweet voice be my guide.
Ill be walking with my eyes close
until the sun light comes.
For with the light comes my second
chance in life.
The light shines on the darkest days
Freeing a soul
Opening up ur mind
Bringing hope
Bringing love
The smallest light
Can save a life
The light shines on the darkest days
When your alone
When there no one else
That light shines through
What happens when its the darkest day
And theres no light
Its just dark
There is no happy ending
Just reality...just life
And your alone and crying
Theres nothing anyone can do
The darkest days have come and have gone
But it doesnt make the tears the screams and the lives lost ok
The light shines on the darkest days
But there still alone
Still crying
The light doesnt save everyone
The light doesnt always shine bright enough
So when that light, is not enough to see us through
Lets hold hands and pray
Lets hold hands and pray
LET HOLD HANDS.... AND DO SOMETHING
So when there alone
There scared
And there is no one else
We join together and bring the light to them
Lets answer our own prayers
On the darkest days the light shines through
But what if it doesnt
What then?
......Will u do something
The solemn mood is right now out here
and the yellow hallowed moon burns bright
to write my mind vomit spilling out.
By starlight the dazzling night is cold,
sold silently to my waking soul
as I find this conversation on the other side.
Arid leaves have fallen to the ground below,
up on my roof, again I’m slow to melt away
like light summer raindrops quenching gently,
fears trapped in tears wash away what’s in me.
Burnished beams of light from inside
out and away into the dormant night
you take flight and expand the heavens.
My thoughts carried rapidly through my mind
as I am lost in some kind of enchanted tale
I find the words I inhale on this page,
a center stage, my own master puzzle
guzzling, flowing forth as my pen takes shape
I escape, unraveling line by line,
splattered out across a surreal time
as though a new painting still against a wall
I fall…
drawn deep into my perplexing dreams
as this night’s realm captures me.
I gaze up into the stars above,
think about love as life breathes away from enemies
I feel you touch the scars that have cut me.
Time travels through my eyes
as the skies mirror what earth beholds
I am sold…
silently to my waking soul.
I am whole if just for this moment in time…
in this I find my own divine.
Beyond the fine line that separates a world of hate
I stand knocking at the gate of grace,
heart, body and mind open to the space in dreams told
I am sold…silently to my waking soul
For whosoever feels lonely here is my hand
I guided up the sun, so you could see better
For whosoever fears doubt
I talked about myself failing you
Though you never saw it
You just noticed me
Standing like a statue
Right behind you all along
Hoping that you won't look back
For even I might start to reconsider
How tough I posed in your defence
How unstable my heart spake all along
But glancing is your eyes, daunted with tears
Let me blow a wind to dry
I bled just like you mayber brighter
For our color is the same
But the wounds were inflicted
By different momentum
So I am a shield
But not from a storm
Even God told me,
We all had our seasons to mourn
But I am of a barrier
of not leaving you behind
For even in our seasons
Do our crops seek nourishment
I know your dry
So I became moist
I know your soaked
So here is my warmth
I seen you smile
By my giving joke
I heard you anger
By my wrath
I see you sleep
Of a lullaby
I am your light
When your soul is tainted with darkness
I am your darkness
When the light causes you to blind
I will be your opposite
When the same reeks of ordinary
Just a little spice I have created
For our feast of many treats
In this season let us all rise
And be our own balance of our life
