My Lantern of Pure Light

by Elisabeth Barstowe — Read all 441 poems by Elisabeth Barstowe

Sunday, May 28, 2023

 
Stretched over the days
over light and over dark
Days and nights roll by 
like there is no end,
no beginning 

The things I am
The things I have
All for wich I am 
so very greatful 

The things I was
The things I didn't have

The place where I 
no longer am

All for wich I am 
so very greatful 

I came from a place of darkness
and step by step I made my 
peace, my slice of heaven 

All the things for wich I am 
so very greatful 

My beautiful family 
in our house of love 

Where ever I am 
I carry my happiness
a lantern of pure light 
to spread light in the dark 

My joy, my pride, my all
to share with the world

Thank you for sharing your light and your poetry. It shines through the darkness that you experience earlier in life that you haven't fully come to terms with, yet.

All you have to do is open up and let me see.
