Flashlight And Moonlight

Rhyme

My flashlight has both hi and low

So I can run, walk, or go slow

Up hill in the sun__down in dark soon

Go downward aided by the moon

 

For the moon will shine full tonight

But there may be clouds to dull light

On top of hill see world below

Give up its soft early night glow

 

I'll stay with flashlight in hand glad

For solitude, stillness, pad

Writing of life's events that make me sad

Just very short while I will stay

 

For I will have to rest to face

Day, if the Lord allows the grace

Of being on earth short while more

To receive blessings that are stored

After reading Edna St. Vincent Millay..This idea came to me...

Beautiful take on something that is so simple. I enjoyed the flow and movement you created in the poem, also the sense of trepidation you have by the light of a torch. Thank you for sharing with us :)
