Best Let There Be Light Poems


Premium Member Let There Be Light

When God spoke, "Let there be light,"
Nature's response was the Sun.
And in the farthest fringes
of dark space, galaxies spun.

Darkness concentrates shadows,
nothing is quite what it seems.
For yesterday's promises,
were scribbled on dying dreams.

Sol's golden rays of sunlight,
imbues magic to the Day.
And colors cottony clouds,
as Dawn chases Night away.

The Sun's coronal aura,
harbors hope's eternal spark.
And illuminating Day,
golden sunbeams pierce the dark.

We are creatures of sunlight,
that's why we love it so much.
And when basking in its rays,
our hearts revel in its touch.

The greatest minds are mocked and heckled, 
but are usually right.
The greatest knowledge, is usually found,
in the simplest places.

Dreams if not a catalyst, to initiate the revelation 
of truth; often contain the truth.
Look within for the golden chalice; the legendary 
“Grail”; you’ll find it wrapped in the “golden fleece”.

Wisdom is gleaned in flight across the veil; 
no soul, seeking light, is abandoned to the dark.
Mind comes from mind, returns to mind, lives in mind.
The enlightened never use the word, can’t.

If “ignorance is bliss”, 
skeptics must be the happiest creatures on Earth.  
The gift of denial never pays to light one single candle.

Light is provided free, to the open mind; 
the greatest minds are the wires, through which, 
the human batteries are charged; 
universal mind initiates the transfer.

The light in the darkness, the dreams that come true, 
should never be doused by the waters of ignorance.

Shine On, Euterpe, Let There Be Light

a quatern

Shine on, Euterpe, cast your light.
We've not much time so please be brief.
      "A simple answer brings relief
      but careful thought will save you grief."

Focus, dear muse, for we must write,
shine on, Euterpe, cast your light.
      "A hasty sonnet quickly flung
       the next day finds that verse unsung.

       Lay work aside when things feel wrong;
       balance labor with time for song."
Shine on, Euterpe, cast your light,
I sense a notion taking flight?

       "If while you toil, the words defer,
       you hit a wall and stanzas blur
       let music be your mind's chaffeur."
Shine on, Euterpe, cast your light.

Euterpe (you ter' pee) is the muse of lyric poetry.

A scarlet Sun shrinks Night into shadows
that hide behind whatever blocks its rays.
And unleashes colors tethered to black,
as Dawn sets ebony heavens ablaze.

Sunrise colors clouds cotton candy pink;
as though freshly inked by the breath of God.
And as the Sun's warmth caresses my skin,
I feel my soul approvingly applaud.

A sensual sensation cocoons me
as I bask in the embrace of sunshine.
And linked by my connection to Nature,
consciousness and reality align.

Upon God declaring, "Let there be light,"
Sunbeams lit the Day; moonbeams lit the Night.

Let There Be Light

Let there be light which shines through this earth. Jesus was born with a light full birth. Let our light shine through your beautiful faces. Let your light bright up many dark places. Shine oh Shine and praise our Glorious Divine. Let your light flow in a peaceful way. Open up many lost eyes and pray. Your light is a key to someone else’s salvation. When they accept Jesus, they dance in a heavenly celebration. Make a tunnel and spread the light. Make a way for the lost of sight. Light the night skies each day and don’t let your light go out with a delay. Share the good news because some sheep has gone astray and Jesus wants them to be okay. Shine your light on sinners and let them be born again beginners.  We are the light of the world through Jesus and just like a puzzle we pick up the lost pieces. Let their be light everyday and bring back all the prodigal sons who are runaways. God Bless!

Let There Be Light

God, in the time before time,
Jittery, alone and bored,
Made this poor world in the dark,

And with these four words infused it with life.

Let There Be Light

Ignite your heart and let there be light
When darkness of lust ushers love and peace take flight
The claws of wars and strife maul the face of mankind
Termite of time swallows the soul and mind

Souls are blackened with pretence and lies
The colorful rainbow vanishing from skies, ugliness thrives
The demon of greed let loose, multiplies
The ravaging of earth being witnessed by skies

Let us harness the wild horse of desires
Life is short build no empires
Listen O you! Mubaraks, Gaddafis, Saddams and likes
Repent before the mighty hand of Providence strikes

Cyrus, Caesar and Alexander’s might
All vanished and nowhere in sight
Their pomp, grandeur, diamonds and gold
Perished, robbed, squandered and sold

Why then rob, steal and store
Insatiable lust wanting more and more
The glamour of wealth you so much adore 
Vanishes through the other door
 
The edifice of your political power, your strength
Your greed and lust going to any length
Have sealed the destiny of all oppressed
Frail, embittered, forlorn, depressed 

You caterers of misery, anguish and sorrow
Known tyrants of history tomorrow
Those that rely on shrewdness and cunning 
Those that natures calls keep shunning

The wealth of the nation, a trust treat
Listen to what sense and sanity entreat 
Ignite your heart with the flame of love and care
Spare the nation from anguish and despair

And God said let there be light and there was!
Light so bright, Eve's hair shone and Adam's teeth twinkled!
Light in the darkness of eternity
lightening up trails never fully imagined
(imagination having not yet been invented).
Yep, ol' God he lit that fire 'neath Eve and Adam.
And Adam got mad 'cause he thought that God had him
in an impossible situation.
“Who is this God who makes me feel like
when a good lookin' woman offers me fruit off a tree
I can't take it??”
Adam got all rebellious. His bowels felt eerily jello-ish.
He acted impulsively, set the course for humanity...
too bad Adam didn't have a mother.

Let There Be Light

Let there be light
Today October 1st 2014
Nigeria celebrate 54year of
Independent

Let there be light
Now To the men on the hills
We are tired of darkness
We are feed up of heat
Our light builds are tired to sleep 
The wires are whiling to catch life
Our food cry for preservation 
The fan can't help the air
Our tv are tired of no touch
Our phone batteries need to be charge
Our cloths need to be strengthen
Despite all 
Every month end we get bills
For what we never enjoyed
A scam
With no explanation 

Let there be light
Nigeria is the biggest
Economy of Africa 
Yet we lake constant electricity
the common man no not
The meaning of electricity
All day we burn fuel
With a power generator
Where some die from it pollution

Let there be light
Light up the land
And watch growth 
Flow like a tap without
A head 
The people are in need of life
How do you keep
Calm while we suffer 
To nothing

Let there be light
On your hills 
In our hot weather
You sleep with an 
Air condition 
Hello sir  I wonder 
How your head
Keep cool if you 
Lack electricity
In that mansion of yours
I wonder how you enjoy
Your luxurious properties
With out the light
Yet you fail to provide
It to your people

Let there be light
Only a fool enjoys
To allow poverty
To live among his own
Community
Only a cowards live to
Only show up his hight of 
No knowledge nor wisdom
The light is a necessity 
Darkness is evil
Like is obvious 
We pledge to you sir's
On the hill
Let there be light

Let There Be Light

Forgiveness is the key
With that comes joy, gladness, peace and victory

Forgiveness is my friend
And knowing that we all have sinned

I am built to bend

Bending and being flexible in various situations
Have enabled me to have wonderful relations

Good and pleasant things are what I will speak about
Love and uplifting others will be the only words that come out of my mouth

These are the harvest from my seeds
Faith
Forgiveness
Fortune and
Favor

That’s what describes my behavior,
It’s just like sky blue azure

forth comings verse words...

Let There Be Light

C:  Bone from Adam, creates 
Eve, Nature seeds, Mothers 
womb; and A miracle, 
Breeds....
R:  A child is born, life unfolds, 
bodies with souls searching for 
their goals, minds corrupt by 
evil, and the journey of life gets 
so cold....
C:  Where Sin bit her greed, in 
air, The apple-tree, selfishly 
lyes, laid; Now poisoned, gave 
us free hunger of will,banished 
them in guilt, but GOD forgave 
their judgement...   
R:  ....and held their hands, 
bleeding the blood to once 
again, give us the key to 
eternal life,,,Amen...

Let There Be Light

Ages ago, in the beginning
God said "Let there be light."
And Satan made his attempt
at darkening man's insight; 
having fallen himself by denying
God's power at heaven's height.

Adam and Eve fell for his lies
and disobeyed God's command
to leave that one tree alone
just one tree in all of Eden-land.
The tree of the knowledge
of good and evil must have been grand.

The Light of the World
met his Father's challenge
on the cross,  And He changes
lives still today, but I cringe
at the thought of God-asking me,
"did your light, the darkness impinge?"

John, Revelation's time traveler of old,
foretells visions of not needing the moon or sun.
New Jerusalem need never fear a black-out
of understanding, for there dwells the Holy One
the Living light. God Himself will be all the light
mankind will need when time has become undone.

Living Light	Unseeking Seeker

Let There Be Light

Let there be light 
Pure and bright 

Shining on the path you walk 
Guiding you right 

Let all evil flight, 
Don't Allow Satan 
To take control of your life, 

Or you'll be forever trapped 
In darkness searching for light 

The light of Christ burns bright 
Giving true hope and Sight
