Light Dance

Gwennie Jewel SAMPÉ



It seemed 

That I 

Had been this way before.

 

The road 

I walked

Was oh so familiar.

 

Each rock, crevice, the growths between

Bushes so green, dangers unseen

Snake in that grass, ever changing

Chameleon, bugs that bothered darkness

That smothered the light wanting to brighten

My way,

An uncanny likeness to somewhere

I’d been before.

 

It seemed

The way

Held old familiar signs,

 

Signals 

Of time

A memory ago.

 

The colours of leaves, the branches

Willow bent, overgrown grass, sounds

In the night, a day without end

Meeting darkness again, yellows

Tarnished Greens, faded blues, fuchsias and browns,

Jaded earth hues, oh, oh, oh, could it be I’d

Been here before?

 

But No!  I see it’s Just

The trembling light

 

Reminding me of where

I used to be,

 

Lest I forget to rejoice,

Lest I fail to give voice

To the Angel in me 

And the Beauty of you.

      I have finally decided, after many years, to unlock the drawer that holds so many of my thoughts, my poems. I wasn’t sure at first, but with each one slowly being published online I find myself embracing this poetic side of self. Thank you for your comment and support.
