Pale Light Poem by Maya Hershey

Pale Light

Rating: 5.0


I look at the broken window.. A pale light is reflected.
Just like sweet sudden rays... Can never be neglected.
Today.. I found a key.. to open this gate,
to see the blind sky fade dimly and reach shade.
Slowly.. The light collapsed my vision,
but I'm still standing.. facing collision.

* * * *
Can life be any more peaceful than this?
Some kind of temporary peace and bliss.
But a meadow appeared suddenly just from across the black field,
I found that this gate was meant to be a door to have been sealed.

* * * *
Can I survive in this wicked world?
Can I find the right choice, the right word?
Oh the voice of silence.. seems so loud,
but still.. I feel harmony in its sound.

* * * *
Now I know what life seems to be,
to hear the sounds, to see the lights upon me.
Life is sudden sound.. Life is dim sight,
Life is nothing more than a pale light.

* * * *

Today.. I found a key.. to open this gate, to see the blind sky fade dimly and reach shade. Slowly.. The light collapsed my vision but I'm still standing.. facing collision................................. eternity yet awes by the gleams of light vision never fails by light even in collision, ..................wonderful metaphors and imagery, eyes look to wonder and lays back for a while redeeming the vision, ingenious introspective by the life yet of unique genre, mingling in the waves of passion where mind ewes by words of wisdom,10++++, thanks for sharing
