You’re the light
Through all darkness
That threatens
To swallow faith
A creature that offers
Love, shelter and happiness
A silver ray of light
obliviously Cradles
and silhouettes
Your beyond magnificent frame
You’re a captivating sight
That has all manner
Of grace,fragility
Yet unbending
Strength about you
I’ve never seen your face
But as I look
Into vast emptiness
I catch glimpses of you
And when this happens
My heart stops
For just a tiny moment
Before you disappear
In a burst of flames
Into the moonlight
Is this magical splendor
Or a maliciously
Marvelous trick
I ask myself
Each time the darkness
Comes and goes.

I like the structure of the poem although the background doesn't do justice to what is an interesting and evocative piece.
I like the descriptions, honest and eloquent.
Thanks for entering.
