Searching Light

WL Schuett

To see the robes of the angels 

dance in the flutter of the breeze 

to feel the motion of the earth 

in the rustle of the pinewood trees 

there are somethings that slip away 

and somethings you never forget 

there is a light that's searching for me 

but it has not found me yet 

 

can you hear the ancient voices 

calling from time so far out of mind 

the foresaken have been banished 

the forelorn seek but can not find 

the timeless , aimless age old relic

there is a light that's searching for me 

but it has not found me yet 

 

in a timeworn breeze 

in the lost glowing ember 

of unrequited love lines 

in the primitive sway of 

forgotten yellow pines 

in the burning light of a vanquished heart 

beating in the chest of antiquated skies 

in a holy mission that's reduced to 

the slightest flicker in your eyes 

 

do you even hear the 

whisper of this prayer 

as a primordial darkness descends 

and is searching for me here 

in the ever changing landscape 

of the colors of my palette 

that breathless expanse of endless light 

just might find me yet

    A fine write WL.

  • lasergraph

    Great light and great graphic. The light finds some easy, others stumble to it.

      I do love your poem, WL, it is so well written. I think all of us humans are looking for that light. Some are lucky to find it during their lifetime, but most have to wait until they get to the 'other' side.

      A very beautiful writing WL. I love the way we speak about the light. Believing that the light will reach you. Awesome.

      Beautiful write. We should always go towards the light.

      Another wonderful painting WL.
