Seconds Within Your Light

Coming through the night I feel strange seconds

within a familiar light.

Here is where my imagination led me to think

no one heard my plight.

Still I smiled in wonder, though the darkness

seemed stronger every second.

Because I yearned to hear your words,

know my life was in your presence.

I bade farewell to the night , closed my eyes

let those seconds pass right by.

As that familiar light that came inside,

kept your face within my sight.

There's a moment between wakefulness and sleep, sometimes quite magical, other times almost scary. Maybe, just maybe this is that moment where reality is about to be chased away for a while, when the dormant spiritual is beckoning. And that stores a thought, a person, an event, an emotion with enormous intensity. I don't quite know but this is how your words talk to this reviewer.

A very soft and loving write, perhaps one of someone daydreaming. Very easily read, the rhythm is great.

thank you Becky, I steered back into the way I wrote poetry when I first began 3 years ago.

This to me sounds like a dream, dreaming of someone who has either moved on to the next phase in the soul's journey or of someone who moved physically in a different direction in this life on earth. It has deep tones of longing mixed with a sprinkle of calm. Beautifully written in your own unique voice and tone that I have come to love reading over the years. I oddly find something soothing about this piece. maybe it is the word choices and the slow flow of the piece.

A very strong poem can be interpreted in many ways...
different for different readers based on their experiences....
for me...speaks of a deep tender love between two souls :)

An eloquent description of that fragile moment between asleep and awake. And the artwork just ties it all off. . . Beautiful, simply beautiful.
