-- As My Heart Sweetly Sings -- By John Herlihy The night is dark, The lamp is lit. Wind whispers, hark, In a chair, I sit. In my mind, I think, Thoughts begin to wander. To the edge, to the brink, On life – my life – I ponder. I know where I have been, Seeking, lost, and yes found. Questions arise: where, when, Answers descend: mystery profound. I see another lamp lit, In the distance, on the way. Approaching me where I sit, Lonesome with nothing to say. Yet say something I will, The lamp peace brings. All thoughts now still, As my heart sweetly sings. - - - - - - Copyright © John Herlihy Saturday 12 May 2023

How representative of life and soothing in the ending. I felt this one deeply, John.

One of the very best. So thoughtful and quiet. The significance of the lamp lit. Lighting the inspiration for the thoughts that brought the poem together.

Kudos!

The act of contemplation is a magical time if spent well... a special place where silence is not fraught with typical urban noise. As you draw our attention to the surroundings, there is awe generated, for many are not as fortunate. My therapist taught me a method of bringing the right and left brain into a harmony that greatly helps, regardless of extenuating circumstances i.e., noise, uninvited odors from outdoors, etc. EMDR is a wonderful prelude method to the kind of moments your lovely poem suggests.
