A Poem About Light

Wherever there is life, there is light. Life cannot exist without it.

Each day, we see it, feel it, live it. Right now, I’m looking out of my office window and I see sunlight on the buildings across the way. Someone walks by and there is light on their face.

I wanted to write about this permanent, permeating essence. Here’s my poem about light.

Light Surrounds

I am grounded in the light,

a shadow leaping,

dancing, sleeping,

smiling, crawling, creeping,

writhing, writing.

loving, weeping

across the permanent penetrating

light.
