Fragments of Light in the Darkness - Poem

Fragments of Light in the Darkness

A halo, like a gold crown, encircles your body
Glowing, burning bright, filling you with endless life
Beauty radiates from your heart like a welcoming beacon
It bursts forth like a fire ragging out of control
Fireworks raining down from the sky, a plume of colour lights up the darkest night
The suns rays offering hope for the future
A lighthouse rescuing ships, broken bodies, from being battered and ripped apart by boulders near the shore
A strong hand reaching out offering sanctuary
Pulling disillusioned souls into your arms, to embrace, to comfort, to hold
A whisper in the ear as precious as pieces of solid gold
A smile like an anchor, something to cling onto when emotions make you feel like you are drowning
Suffocating, being strangled by conflicting emotions, emotions that eat away at you, poking, prodding like a sharp bladed knife
Tenderness and warmth spill freely from your soul, passed like a runners’ baton onto others more in need
A warming glow that melts the coldest of hearts
Sets pulses racing
A gentle hug that means more than a thousand words, simple yet understated
Two hearts beating together as one for just a brief moment in time
Tenderness that reaches in past the barricades of barbed wire to pull away the poison weeds that threaten to destroy another’s tainted soul
Entwined by love, loss and life
Jagged souls fuse together as one
A kind word of reassurance, an acknowledgement of another’s pain and sorrow
Love like flowers blossoming in the spring, brightly coloured jewels glittering like stars high in the sky
Enveloping the pain, the constant suffering of others
Joy and happiness given in abundance like leaves floating freely in the wind
Shelter from the storm, fear extinguished and replaced by a love of life
Exhilaration, defiance, passion all blended carefully together like a richly scented perfume, oozing from every crevice of your body
Ethereal you are like a vision before me, a goddess, an angel, a priestess
Weaving your own blend of magic, scattering love and honesty like rose petals at my feet
Drops of bright red blood that plot my journey
Clarity to see beyond the prison I find myself trapped in
Your spirit soars like that of an eagle
Infectious it brings others along for the ride
To see the world through another persons fine tuned eyes
To see that I like you am not alone
Connected yet unconnected
Blended together we fit perfectly in time
