Shaft of Light

In the deep dark night
There isn't a single light

The clouds start caving in
Like they had never been

The next thing was a miracle
It seemed so magical

A shaft of light
Struck through the thick clouds with all its might

It filled the dark night
With light so bright

The bitter darkness
Was finally overcome with brightness

She's in quite deep with out a doubt, a very cramped space to pull her out. She slipped into a loneliness well, a cold sad place for one to dwell. There were times when she was reaching out but no one heard her pained shout. She couldn't recall  days of glory, stayed focused in her sad life story. It's oh so dark with a constant draft, deep inside her mind's shaft.

Premium Member A Shaft of Light

The overcast sky, the drizzling rain,
the weather dictates my mood again.

Grey and black clouds block the sun.
A dismal morning has begun.

A break in the gloom is what we need
as through the clouds a shaft of light bleeds.

One small ray brings a lift to the heart.
I hold my breath ... and watch the clouds part.

Premium Member Candle's Single Shaft of Light

Erie sounds cry from the blackness of night
Dark clouds casting shadows over tonight's moonlight

Stumbling down an unfamiliar path I wind
Among obstacles challenging both body and mind

A wrong path taken, will I find home?
Or spend a night among nothingness alone

Then in the distance I see a single shaft of light
A candle in the window, everything's all right!

Shaft of Light

It was a dark and lonely night
Suddenly there came a shaft of light
My heart was jumping out of my skin
While trying to keep all fears within
I became silent, my legs became stiff
I felt like I was pushed of a cliff
Then suddenly I saw a strange ship
I got so frightened that I bit my lip
It came and disappeared
Then again it reappeared
Is it aliens or just a dream?
Maybe some things aren’t what they seem

Shaft of Light

The sky is black like the night      No moon no stars no guiding light      The wind 
is screaming      Holding back the sun`s beaming   The clouds are sobbing tears 
from the sky  Eyes look to the heavens asking the question why     Suddenly a 
shaft of light blinding all that see      Clearing the blackness of a world of what 
could be     A ray of sunshine now envelops the land     Telling all being alive is 
simply grand

Shaft of Light- For Contest

Black clouds ever surrounding me
But look, a bright ray of light I see

From where does this light appear
Has it come from far or from near

A million thoughts enter my mind
A sign from above, that I’m behind

Quick explanations though, never pass
Nor do a thousand, I have grown crass 

About this shaft of light what can be told
I don’t know now, maybe when I am old

Desire to know, imbedded since our youth
Philosophy teaches there really is no truth
