Tender light and dark paradoxes here... which, like sleight of hand conjuring tricks, has cast twilight reflections in the minds of your readers as to the Voice's actual viewpoint. My first reading aligned mostly with Sherry's take: a delightful, if not coy, kind of hide-and-seek, like that of the major players in a Shakespearean play; or the silent and unseen adoration at the place of the nightly visitation of a minor deity. Whatever, tis delightful. The thought that comes to me MOST strongly is the image of the breath of light: I see that it is the witholding of that breath which creates the sensation of darkness - and that's another beautiful endorsement of the feeling of awe and wonder. If you consort with Angels, Senor, you will always come away with burning lips! I will have to start calling you Isaiah!! Smokin!! :)) K xx
Each of these syllables shine a magic of poetic intent and soulful honesty that thoroughly delights. Put another way: very cool poem Mr. Forese:-)

Take care,
