A Light in the Darkness

User Rating:

9.8 /10
(4 votes)



  Dedicated to Reverend Paul Fitzpatrick.

An eerie darkness, leaves a
footprint behind, as the thud, thud
of walking grows louder...
it is amplified
as my heart ponders:
the gust of wind, that blows, blows...
and hear the
wail of the wind leaving behind
...the unspoken word of:
a light in the darkness.

Birds outside, fly into vast
amounts of freedom,
in between the wails of the wind.
Envy etched on my eye,
as animals of all sorts, tenderly
caress the unspoken word of:
a light in the darkness –
a faint glimmer of candle light
creeps in the crack of the curtain;
and whispers from the unspecified man:
“all will be fine”
he says.

A hope no longer as broken clay,
but clay smoothly put into place –
as the unspecified man
slowly glues broken clay together
in a mundane artwork
slowly awakening
a broken heart.

Celine Berghmans

Beautiful sentiments, Celine - and beautifully written. The secret of your writing is that it is always from the heart and so it is all the more touching. Bless ya!

Beautiful poem with wonderful imagery from mundane life. Hopes for love and betterment from unseen and unspecified. The title itself is very optimistic.....10/10.
Best Wishes.

I like this style of prose Celine - nicely penned. You might like 'My Sneaking Tears' there are two versions a rhyming and a non-rhyming version
Regards
