A Light has Travelled

A light has travelled Millions of miles from 

The  surface of our Sun one day past : 

About Forty-Years to be precise.

And as it lights upon a different World, 

My fond Relatives are alive once more;

For when that bright beam left our Sun; they breathed,

They Loved; and inturn were also much Loved.

They danced and laughed with many a proud Toast,

And lived day-to-day with all life\'s concerns.

And I too were younger; for the Path lay

Ahead  bathed in Promises of Sweet dreams 

As the Rose of youth was in fullest bloom;

Its colours rich with the blush of the Hours.

Those days lie past;  but the light of that day:

The light of that day strikes a distant Moon , 

For somewhere amongst the Dust we\'re young again.

Our Loved-ones live on for we never cease ; 

We are carried on light into the Void.
