Illumination (poem) by Chanti Niven on AuthorsDen

Reviewed on February 6, 2005

This sparkling diamond of a poem starts off dark and ends up in the light of uplifting hope. Starkly symbolic and compelling; it is another of your splendid creations dear Chanti. Love is a small word but it carries a great deal of meaning. I give you mine. Regis

I am again, and again, and again...awed at your poetic
perspective and your infinitely wise perception, Chanti!
This is alive with emotion...and the graphic creates a
matching response.
Kudos, my friend!

Honestly, Chanti... I think we've all been there at one time or another, but it is certainly the poet who can understand this piece. The metaphors in the first two and last two lines are perfect. Just wonderful.

Much love,
Tami

Chanti you see the light. And then comes the release of the laughter. So many never are able to find it like me. And we wander in darkness forever. Beautifully express. God bless you. Take care and feel protected by the love you share. Bill Murray
