Light Upon Poems | Examples


Premium Member Light Upon My Path

My God,
I thank you for your light
to shine upon my path this day.

May I see all whom I meet
   with your eyes, 
   with your compassion,
   with your empathy.

May I hear as you hear,
   act as you would act,
   speak as you would speak,
With all whom I meet this day.

May I get out of the way
so you can walk through me
   to do your will.

I give back to you 
   your gift of this day.
May I live these gifted hours
   as would you
Until sunset returns 
    another end of day.

My God
I thank you for your light
To shine upon my path.

Waiting Until the Day When I Can See the Light Upon Your Face

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

Light Upon the Path

Sealed in walls of ice
My heart locked; frozen frail,
Ragged shardsduk-taped
After a swift fall from grace
Grim view of my shackled fate

Opening my mind
In order to see clearly
Amending time lost
Moving forward yet refrained
Seeking a promising path

Lily's, daisies, rose's,
Stoping to sniff as they bloom
Staring at the stars
Burning like a tigers eyes
Meek child I am no longer

Reach for heaven
To chase inner most desires
Stroking fire within
Aspiring to heights untold
Letting inner light shine o



(I connected this to "the great flower of life" in a perspective of personal growth from a troubled child to a positive and driven young adult inspired toward achieving greater things)

You Cast Your Light Upon Me Jesus

You cast your light upon me Jesus
Never to fade away
Your light is all consuming 
My destiny awaits

In the dark of the night
You whisper for me to hear
Everything is alright
Everything is ok
I am here with you today and always 
Here I am 
I am the great I am
Wiping clean the slate

You fill my heart with your love
It cannot be contained
Your love is all consuming
Overflowing from heavens gate

Light Upon a Life

I hope Im worthy of your love, a candidate for your heart. 
So that I may join the angels above, and escape from the dark. 
You truly are beautiful, words cannot describe 
how lucky I am, to have once looked in your eyes. 
An angel in sight, this here is what you are. 
Throughout the lonesome night, I wish to hold you in my arms. 
I could write for hours, maybe even for years 
to describe the delicate flower, that stands before me here. 
Here I lye alone, with only you on my thoughts. 
And one thing I know, I may have found what Ive once sought. 
Your an angel in my eyes, you bring light upon my days. 
You truly make me smile...please dont go away..

Light Upon Light

F or it is what lies beyond
A ffair and matter
R endering the soul with Light
A ttaining value in heart and mind
H umbling one’s core to succumb

A glow with faith in word, in action
L ife of lore, wisdom, and thought

B ringing succor in days of anger
R esting peace in days of fear
A betting in need, in dismay, in grief
I now shall endeavor to remit, to pray
K eep my promise to Thee, Allah,
I shall live…I shall strive... I shall be…

                                     Dedicated to an inspiration, a friend,
                                                                                     Farah Al-Braiki
