Praised Be The Light Poem by DM W

Praised Be The Light

Rating: 4.3


" And the darkness could not extinguish the Light." (The Gospel of John: Chapter 1)

Praised be the consoling light that protects:
The light of sanctuary from the darkest fear;
The light, that glows for those, who meditate in the midnight hour.

Blessed be the singing light that beautifies:
The light that fractures through figurative stained glass panes;
The light that punctuates the pure womb of blue; of sky and sea

Praised be the profound light that guides:
The light that inspires the genius of creators;
The light which is invisible to mortal vision.

Blessed be the warm light that unites:
The light of grace; of silent communion
The light which dissolves the boundaries between us.

Dominic, a poem, a prayer and a people's mantra all in one. So well written with not a single word wasted or deemed out of place. With each one carrying over to its neighbour and al the time building magnificently to your mesmerising closure line. A full score so richly deserved. Take care. Many thanks for sharing and a great poem with this great theme is one that is few and far between.

Thanks Shaun...I'm pleased with the way I used anaphora for dramatic effect.
