"Light Of Life"

Clouds paint my skies today with shades of blacks, 

Grays and whites, like a Sumi-e work of art...

As composure settles into my stillness, 

A whole symphony of textures and hues 

Keeps on hiding what the eyes seek to see; 

While passionate oceans of thoughts create

Waves to drown universal veil of fear...

Soon rain will break throughout this reverie

Like tears falling from the eyes of sad hearts, 

Revealing Helios in glorified smile,

For no matter the dark storms of one's life, 

Light is an eternal creative source.
