houses house bodies
bodies house life
life houses souls
souls house light
light shrinks from darkness
darkness douses light...
yet Light overcomes darkness
with spiritual sight
...in the beginning was darkness
darkness again at the end
awaiting those who despise Light - -
Light's gift of love for all men
yes, Light overcomes darkness
with love's perfect sight

A philosophical write that exudes a special radiance - deserves to be read twice. Wonderful Esther. Warmest wishes, Justine.
Wow! This is so unique Esther. I love it. It feels so cryptic yet the message is clear. Very, very good poem. Sincerely, Mary

(Comments from earlier version; writers notified) : Sandra Erickson (5/21/2006 9: 56: 00 AM) Esther: I love this! Wonderful 'train of thought' flow from beginning to end. You only see shadows if you are standing in the light..... Sandra Uriah Hamilton (5/20/2006 7: 10: 00 PM) I've been prowling in the darkness, finding nothing, but I keep looking. Patricia Gale (5/19/2006 11: 22: 00 AM) A grand read! Well thought, such depth! Out done yourself with this one. Patricia Gale
With perfect sight and clarity, this poem radiates light...an uplifting and spiritual piece Est, the final lines resound. Justine xx
What a beautiful sentiment you express here. And how many examples of light continue to transform us - the candle, the star shining in the night sky, the sun scorching the earth, the light in the eye of the lover. I think I feel a poem coming on.... love Allie XX
There is it would seem a human need for light. We turn to it as flowers turn to the sun. Lovely poem. Warm regards, Sandra
