Let there be light!
Writing for Sanaa's Prompt nights :)

The
sky is bright, Sun in its might;
Matter
of concern - where’s “the light”?
From the
spell of dew that made me smile,
till tiny
shadow & me, drenched in its shine;
No curtains
of clouds covered for a while,
but found
no ray - ending the quest, jewels drain brine!
The flaming
torches and spark of matches,
none
emitted a soulful light;
Wishful
of sensing, with closed lashes,
A “caged
ruby” that shines bright!
Darkness
of anger, ego and hatred,
dusted
on the red gem,
Brush
it with care & love that’s sacred,
For a
free world having none to condemn ..
As pure
as the gem, let “it” be clean,
Then shall
light of humanity & oneness be seen!
Whistles!!❤️❤️This is absolutely exquisite writing, Vijita I so love the contrasts between light and dark which you have weaved here " Darkness of anger, ego and hatred, dusted on the red gem. Brush it with care and love that’s sacred, for a free world having none to condemn.." sigh.. beautifully executed. Thank you so much for participating at Prompt Nights and for your constant love and support ❤️❤️

ReplyDeleteThank you... I was moved by story of Diogenes, the Greek philosopher right from the first time I heard it.. the idea of search for "true light" comes from that...
