The year in light

Posted byPhillip Knight ScottPosted inPoemsTags:, , ,

The twilight of another year sparkles
with flashes — burning brilliance —
so I cannot leave them behind
as we place one foot into the future.

I pause now, lingering
on the twinkling moments, 
savoring the sweet stamped imprints
while my month waters 
in anticipation of more to come.

Even the sad, the hurt,
the bulbs I’d replace if I could —
I’ll take them with me. Sometimes 
any light is a reminder 
that life glimmers between bursts
of radiant light
whether we’re looking or not.

  5. Yes, life glimmers, no matter what….thankfully. The earth’s persistence in keeping on despite everything is what gives me hope. And inspiration.
