REGARDING THE LIGHT

twilights habitual reach

trickles soft

arises a shade to cover

drapes the frame to a view 

imposes with a lean 

lounges in a requiem

perched upon a window brink

fallen sleepless again

gazing the horizon

 

inspires a simple measure

the shimmer closer 

a marvel of visible light

strikes the window blind

touches battered and savage 

scatters in a sea of sparks 

impressions delight

the agony to defy

the stars fall from my eyes 

 

a push to a step

a plunge in the luminesce

entwined inside a twinkling

twisting, turning ,receding

dwindles for a crushing flux

spills of white

shine of gold 

spinning silver bright

dims the darkness cold

 

soar in the heavens

seek to find 

a place to die

no remorse

not a single cry

the smallest things

now hidden inside

this is where

I reside
