light

the ever changing movement

of light

it comes and goes

like the ocean tides

the rise of the sun

in rose tinged clouds

the solstice

the stillness of the sun

in the winter’s cold sky

the cusp of earth

as she begins

to bathe herself in light

a fragment

of warm sun through

an open window

the gift of a later night sky

time and new answers

to every old why

the enlightened heart

the kinder vision

of a. cluttered mind

the softer gaze

at the crossroads

of a broken juncture

synchronicity

is by design

the hope

we are destined to find

the solstice

begs us to yearn for light

inwards

and in our every day life

for with every darkness

slivers of illumination glimmer

and hope unfolds

we choose to burn our candle

lest the night falls inwards.

where it simmers

engulfs and returns

regardless

of natures perfect light

in the chaos

Is found our most intrinsic inalienable right

to open the door

to our beating. hearts

see life not as it is

but as it could be

like the sun illuminates the immense forest floor

we choose

we consciously decide

to carry the light

into every fleeting

transient good night
