Light is Life
Light is Life
Tony DeLorger © 2016
Translucent threads, like spider webs
adorn the prism of my encapsulation,
captured between darkness and light;
within this light refractory,
my soul in a rainbow state,
wrapped in threads that hold the weight,
spinning in a void of possibility.
Set in crystal, body taut,
I cannot move nor utter words, implore,
this prison is my resting place,
light the paint that holds, encased
within a clarity that yields no truth;
just a sentence with no changes made,
no proof or slanderous accusation laid,
what will I do?
How did I fall to this,
when clarity often freedom’s bliss,
and here I find my prison cell, the very chime of my bell,
and death no comfort, no ending rhyme,
clarity of light the dazzling blinding plight, I find,
its sting twice the hurt,
for me a translucent end, inert.
But when light in shards so strong,
beams down to my crystal soul entwined,
I shimmer with every color bold,
saturate in light’s afferent hold,
and suddenly my soul ignites,
meaning soars on high in light,
and I begin to understand.
Light is life.

Light illuminates the soul and opens the way for enlightenment. I love this verse, Tony.
Thanks Phyllis, glad you appreciated it. It’s a bit esoteric in expression, but I think the message is clear. Take care.
Your poetic words are inspirational. Enjoyed this.
An amazing piece Tony, just brilliant. That opening stanza, wow, so intricately laid. Life is light, and I felt its aura and transcending glimmer here. Thank you.
So nice to read your works in a new enviroment.
Best,
Mel
