Aspects Of Light Poem by Daniel Brick

Aspects Of Light

Rating: 5.0


The idea of creating a huge work suddenly blazed up within me like an inner cry of joy. LIGHT is the summation, (with its seven operas, one for each day of the week) . LIGHT is obviously SPIRIT per se, manifestations of the Spirit, and the perfect, all-permeating, all- illuminating Spirit.
Karlheinz Stockhausen

The dawn I slept through
still poured its quiet light
over my silent being, cleansing
my body with solar radiance.
The mid-morning sun dispelled
clouds, made them vanish
into the sky dome, the better
to shine its blue light
over my head and heart.
The trumpet fanfare of noon
demands my full attention
and rewards me with total
clarity about action and
nonaction. The twilight sun
casts its angled lanes of
light like an illumined path
directly to my true home.
And sunset spreads its red banner,
its yellow standard, its golden
array across miles of glittering dreams.
So now I can fully surrender
to the patterns of light, fully
informed and consoled by a day
of beauty, a night of visions,
and a tomorrow of promised glory.

part2 energy and feed.. The twilight sun casts its angled lanes of light like an illumined path directly to my true home. Here the imagination side mixes with the physical side to illuminate the way of true purity home for the poet, that is why he can reach the high level of glory
