The Edge of Light

I love the edge of light
that begins after the dark of the moon—
the glimmering evidence of all
that will be reborn.

The hint of becoming,
the sideways smile of my Creator.

He has a streak of Coyote in him.
Bastard trickster.
He has strong arms that hold me firm
against the sway and buffeting
of life’s harsher turns.

She weaves her magical melodies
of connection amongst all.
She sweeps grandly beyond
the touch of mere men,
mortal men.

As much as anything can be determined,
my Creators are real.
Whether or not I have created them,
my Archetypes are real.
As none of it, none of "this,"
can be ultimately proven real,
I must live "as if."

Author notes

My thanks to the poet lipotufu, whose words were my springboard ("love the edge of light / that begins after the dark of the moon" ).

    I think the title for this is perfect. Wonderful imagery and thought processes here and I am not the least bit surprised considering your talented pen.

    Your second stanza - my favorite lines in this entire poem. Really beautifully worked free verse. A pleasure to read and enjoy. ~Pamela
