Canopy of Light

Canopy of Light

Faint shimmering light
ahead in northern sky....
beckoning high
above rim
over tall roofs
and hilly points
on treeless land.

Short winter days
pervade festive swell
as darkness comes
like seething fire
before eventide
has waved its way
along the shadowed path
from fleeting noon.

Starry nights
brighten still
the gloom....
with other light
that's glimmering far
in distant sight
pervading through haze
that drifts aloft
as transcendental veils.

Winter seems long
in northern parts-
a burden to the hearts
of young and old-
but light is never far
from human reach.
We share the rays
it yields
to live and teach.

This may be a little inappropriate, and I apologies now if it is, but you clearly have a gentle heart that I find quite uplifting.

There is a soft gentle power to your words.

Thank you Stewart. I find poetry inspiring to write. The wonderful thing about poetry is that it gives writers great freedom of expression which they may not experience with other types of literature. I would never discourage anyone from writing poetry. It expands consciousness and makes people grow.

Have a wonderful weekend.
