Best See The Light Poems
IT TAKES TIME TO SEE THE LIGHT
Death is best taught in the dark
Fetching sticks, setting sparks
Its bag of tricks: sickness and hope
A black curtain vanishes
The magician leaves you with a moonless night
A lonely night without stars
And you work to locate those sparkling crystals
And place them one at a time back in the sky
But tears fall like glass, resetting the progress
You need to accept the inevitable
But no one can do the Impossible
So cling to the possible
Surround yourself with an armloads of friends
Let them take turns dabbing your mascara
As their handkerchiefs turn from white to black
One day you’ll find the moon back in its place
You will wonder how long you missed it

DIDACTIC FORM
A sliver of moon
Glows above the Red Planet
This cloudless spring night
Living in the shadows but you still hold my heart
No light at all for me since the day we did part
Pleading for a sunray to feel again with love
Cursed into blackness no more illumination from above
Torn from the balance of equal light and dark
Wanting to burn it all just so I could see a spark
Knowing that forever I exist in this gloomy place
Waiting until the day when I can see the light upon your face
watch as one controls the other
but never see when they are apart
dark cannot be without light
just as light cannot be without dark
stop yourself from trying to separate them
for none shall stop the balance it holds
be here to watch the sun rise
be here to watch it set
when the moon has risen
watch it rise and fall as fast
watch the darkness in it blackness
be more evil than one wants to know
watch the light it its white bliss
exist only as purest joy,
fall down to where
they seem forever
but slowly watch
as the balance mends
mends the wounds
of all wars.
see all this trouble
be defeated
by the continuous battle
of light and dark
Going to a place without romance without a dance
To a skeptic of all different pain, we give you your last meal
So do not bare your soul to anyone, so happy and gray
Fear not to know that today is the day
Smiling with decay, the moisture of sweat and fear
Your nostrils are dripping with excitement
With eyes that have not slept for days
Time to see the punishment for all the things you've wrong
Sarcasm of no value today that will End
I just heard the other day
I could have been anything I wanted
Imagine, your own choices unencumbered
By all that tortuous guff, childhood stuff Where did it come from, how did it start
Why doesn’t everyone have it, or none?
Do you suppose it has anything to do
With the way you think, or talk, or act
I stop and watch all the sweet scenes
A father holding hands with his little boy
His trusting walk, his smile, a precious moment
To build on others until a man is made
Mom rocks her three year old to sleep
Warm and cozy in her loving arms
Who wouldn’t want those memories, to share
Care for those who can relate, reciprocate
Could that simple song guide our lives along
Becoming something to someone, somewhere,
When weary bones a place to rest, To carry the image, father and mother forever When does that change take place
Hold within the secret , their secret
The secret sanctity, accepting who
And what we are, to radiate life’s joy
A purpose for all, quiet and strong Sharing with those who see the light.
I see the light
Shining so damn bright
In your eyes
Is where my happiness lies
Bringing me smiles
From far away miles
I wish you weren’t so far
It feels further than earth to mars
But it’s nothing we can’t handle
Because our love is the everlasting flame of a candle
We need time to adjust
our watches
so we can see
the light
cutting through the tapestry
which
is
our
exsistence
Only one or two millenia
left for the human race
Let's make the most of it!
Since the end is coming soon
We should not let dreams die with it!
A surrealist universe
had no room
for the timid, for the ones who
are addicted to undeserved power
As long as I can see the light
I know that the sun will end the night,
I know that a paradise waits for me
If at the end of a tunnel light I can see.
Oh, the night is long and the wind is blowing cold,
Relentless time speeds from young to old
But I’m determined to keep hope shining bright
And this will provide me with my inner light.
So in the darkness I stretch out a trembling hand,
Reaching out for someone to understand
That tonight I feel alone and in need of a friend,
I’m praying I don’t weaken, I’m praying I don’t bend.
I can feel a warmth start as my light begins to glow,
Answers to my many questions I don’t yet know,
There’s no map to guide me and no route planned
But I’m sure the Lord reached out and touched my hand
As long as I can see the light
I know that the sun will end the night,
I know that a paradise waits for me
If at the end of a tunnel light I can see.
Thuck.. Thuck.. Thuck…
Why don’t you just stop
You can’t penetrate the glass
You’re just a little moth.
Thuck.. Thuck.. Thuck..
Come now, little bug
It can’t be that bad
Would you fly into the sun?
Thuck.. Thuck.. Thuck..
So fragile you are
Cupping you in my hands
Leaving glitter-dust behind.
Silence.
What are you doing in there
Little moth?
Open my hand and let you go.
Thuck.. Thuck.. Thuck..
Hmmmf.
Stupid Moth.
Love always finds a way
No need to search
High and Low
Open your eyes
than you would be
Surprised
Look and see
Love is right in front of Thee...
You bring in the Sunshine
Compassion... Sweetness
Whenever your around
Hearts beating all over town
Smile...
Thank about it...
How wonderful YOU are
For God made you... Beautiful...
Fly... with your Wings of Love
Shine your Light..
When we’re born, it’s then we see the Light
After travelling squashed and so malformed
Through a tunnel like those fairground frights
With no-one else to keep us well informed
No bus stop,no rail station,no train track
There’s only one direction, which is out
The walls themselves gyrate behind our back
Some are struck and stuck by fearsome doubt
The head is squeezed, the brain protests with fear
The body’s like a fish stuck in a spout
Here there are no fall back engineers
No drain inspector, plumber to call out.
Yet by luck or fortune most emerge
To light a-dazzle and to love amazed
People of Earth are totally amazing
The ingenuity of the human mind
Ain't no animal in this whole wide world
As unique, we're one of a kind
Pride in the achievements of us *****sapiens
We'll soon be travelling to the stars
Making regular excursions back and forth
Meeting little green men from Mars
A bright new future and a brand new start
Maybe this time we'll get it right
Love and friendship throughout the lands
When we finally see the light
Must sound strange, somewhat delusional
But believe me it just has to be
The alternative is totally unacceptable
To survive we must all be free
It's totally amazing how far we've come
Since man first began to dream
A time of peace lies just round the corner
When happiness reigns supreme

I see the light. By Anthony Grider 8/6/1994
What goes up must come down.,
Don't get your hopes up so high.,
Or you'll find yourself on the ground.,
Asking yourself why.
Sometimes it's hard to find your way.,
Always someone trying to tell you what to say.,
Trying to flip your blue skies to grey.
I find myself in the dark, but I can see the light.,
Trying to sleep but up all night.,
Blinded but trying to regain my sight.,
O I'm in the dark but I see the light.
Beaten down but I can still fight.,
O In the dark but I see the light, O I can see the light.
Saying grass is greener on the other side.,
You look in the mirror and you close your eyes.,
Always running what do you have to hide.,
Feel like your standing still while life passes you by.
People tear you down.,
Try to twist you up.,
Time to get off the ground.,
Time to stand up.
O I might be in the dark but I see the light.,
Trying to say I'm wrong but I know I'm right.
O I'm in the dark but I see the light.,
Been beaten down but I still can fight.,
O I'm in the dark but I see the light.,
Been blinded but have regain my sight.,
O I'm in the dark but I see the light.
O I see the light.
They say don't count your chickens before they hatch.,
It seems like nothing goes your way.,
Life's a fast ball you just can't catch.,
No sun but always a rainy day.
But you cant let it get you down.,
You've got to pick yourself off the ground.,
You've got to make it work your way.,
Who cares what anyone else has to say.
O I'm in the dark but I see the light.,
Been beaten down but I still can fight.,
O In the dark but I see the light.,
Been blinded but have regain my sight.,
O I'm in the dark but I see the light.
Time to get reading for the fight.,
Saying I'm wrong but I know I'm right.,
O Blinded but I've regain my sight.,
O I'm in the dark but I see the light.
O I see the light.
See the light
The world switched off their light
at night and began to sleep
The moon wake up at night
and switched on its light to whole universe
It's alert light for us to
protect ourselves from thieves
i don't want light while sleeping
But the world gives us neither
good nor bad, we tends to receive that.
If i am child, i like to say this
"oh! moon. i want to move you
near our home by my hand.
Lit a light for our home only
i stand above you and seeing
the world with a great merry
i wanna color you as blue..
No..Orange...No..all colors
Like a rainbow. wonderful at night
Darkness seems at night
and in your eyes
you see a light
when you open your eyes
sleep your thoughts, make a dream
sleep your body, just relax
sleep you mind, that is sleep, dream ,relax
sleep your eyes, thief at your home
You see a light
when you open your eyes....
