Was it light?
Was it light within?
Was it light within light?
Stillness becoming alive,
Yet still?
A lively understandable spirit
Once entertained you.
It will come again.
Be still.
Wait.

Light multiplying
thru prismatic windows
eyes jelling in
rapture, passion -
Wait - hold memory -
yet this glow
goes on marking
paths to
our sole true
source
Happy Holidays to you both. May the light multiply in the year to come.
Thank you, Ms. M, for your visits and comments. Merry Christmas to you and your poet.
