Notice of absence from Tristan Robert Lange
I am lagging slightly in my responses to comments on my poems due to a crazy schedule. I will be catching up on them soon. I have read them all and will find the time to respond, but did not want you to think I was ghosting. In the meantime, and always:
Read, Write, Rise, Realize.

all it takes is darkness
to spark desire for
a light
not that bright
a match
strikes
like lightning
the birthing
beacon’s becoming
bursts in
beams

Well said. Your poem uses the metaphor of light as a symbol of hope or knowledge, juxtaposed against darkness, which represents ignorance, despair, or confusion. Your imagery of a match striking and birthing light signifies the powerful emergence of clarity or inspiration from a place of obscurity.
Beautiful, short like the flaring of a match but bright it sparkles with rhyme and flames with alliteration. A truly wonderful write my friend. A fave
