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.

beautiful poem Neva..I wonder though if it should not read BADE farewell instead of BID and KNEW my life as opposed to KNOW...Maybe it's just me

i see this as either humanly romantic to the "nth" degree or spiritual...either way

it is beautiful in its wording and placement...and subtle rhyme scheme.

thank you Erin, it is actually a spiritual poem that many have interpreted as romantic. Possibly because I believe in unconditional love that can be considered a spiritual love also.....past history seen by those who read my work. Thank you so much.
