Illuminating Inner Sight
 
The wick that threads the heart and mind
Joins the spirit, as designed
From base to surface cased and wombed
It's birth awaits, the spark to bloom
 
For there encased within the wax
The beacon licks the light from  black
One spark, one touch upon the wick
Is all it takes to do the trick
 
And once that fire starts to burn
With light we see, with light we learn
Waiting for that primal spark
Life is glowing.....through the dark
 
On touch at times, is all we need
To kindle bright and polish speed
It warms and leads our thoughts to light
Illuminating inner sight

this is all too personal for/to me, it speaks so well of that lingering darkness where we 'wait' unable at times to get to that wick to bring that spark, and it is all so true, you know?
That spark, that 'wick', once we go to it, light it and 'see', makes one think and Feel, this is such a lovely, painfully true piece, the imagery works all so well and I Thank you for the Beauty of your own sharing of this 'Inner Light'...
bravo, A.
Love and Much Light, Much to you,

As a clinical counselor I work with a lot of people who are "in the darkness" of their own thoughts. When I'm discouraged I remind myself I'm planting seeds in their mind which may sprout in the future. Your poem gives me another way to look at my fearful and stuck clients.....they are waiting for a primal spark. That image gives me a sense of anticipation. Perhaps for some of them I can be be the rough surface that allows a spark. Thanks for the new metaphor.

Absolutely beautiful. Both art and poem. Perfect in every way. We know what is true in our hearts and no one book could ever take that place. ~ Sara

After reading this all I can say is "when are you going to publish a book of your poems, Anita?" BTW, the dancing kitten cracked me up.

A wonderful descriptive write. The inner light you talk of radiates beyond the inner self. If we let it shine for others to see, we indeed at a source of light just as our savior is.
God Bless,

And that great and magnificent Inner Light when coupled with the Universal Light,.... ignites a brilliant flash of perception and intuition,.... that will never be dimmed or diminished..

Gloriously illuminating and enlightening

Kudos to you Master Craftswoman !

Love that mesmerizing graphic

That figure in the flame looks like either an angel holding a torch or the Statue of Liberty...:)
