Loving Light

Cassie58

it’s the light that lifts our mind set 

when the heart is sunk at sea 

when you sit there by the harbour 

in your state of misery 

when you dwell on all that’s heavy 

when the future paint is grey 

and the palette shows insipid 

on the doldrums of the day 

it’s the gleam upon the water 

it’s the sparkle in an eye 

it’s the flash of silver lining 

that will raise those spirits high

          Absolutely beautiful I make it my business to see a silver lining every day dearest Cassie, such a stunning write my silver lining today is this moment being here with you and cheeky missy ❤️

          • Cassie58

            Thank you so much Teddy. What a lovely thing to say. Delighted to have a visit from both you and missy. When I wrote this poem some time ago, I remembered my Grandad Albert who introduced me to poetry , who always pointed out to me the silver lining on rain clouds when they appeared. So pleased you enjoyed the read. 🌹

            A lovely message so well said. It is the little things that make a difference in mood, a smile, the twinkel of an eye, a cheerful voice make all the difference. Lovely

            • Cassie58

              It is the little things that can make a difference. Thank you Soren for such an encouraging and supportive review. Much appreciated.

              I can not seem to conjure your kind of optimism; happy that you can. Nice.

              • Cassie58

                Little things can give me a lift. I always find sunlight on water particularly uplifting. If I am having a down day, just a little time spent where there’s a gleam of sunlight can lighten the mood. That’s not to say it!s going to last, but it can help. I do try to be optimistic. Pleased you enjoyed my poem. A big thank you Dan.

              • Cheeky Missy

                Thank you. I needed this. Very beautifully rendered with excellent imagery and a heartening poignancy. Very, very lovely and solacing. Thank you so very much.

                • Cassie58

                                    it is poetry's loss when poets like you take a long break inspite of it being a part of you
                                    come back soon with some more beautiful verse / words
                                    take care
