A Wander Through Light From Birth To World
Dancing Elephants Press Prompt week 48 of 52 — The Ever So Bright Light
The vibrant light met my iris’s, as I gently shifted, from the womb of my mother, into the wide open air, of our world.
One so bright, I tightened my eyes closed, yearning to stay within, the sacred darkness, of the warm waters, forever.
It was days before I opened them to understand, the power of eyesight, to see the bright aura, surrounding a face I could not decipher, but a voice I had known, for what felt like aeons.
Her soft hands cradled the bearings of my soul, wise beyond my years, breathing the light of life, into me.
Within the colossal times, when shadows consumed me, drowning out the infectious light, seen through the windows, of my spirit
I found solitude, when bathing in the lustre of the moon, the vitality which shone, through the break of dawn,
as we grounded our feet upon the earth, and watched delicately, the glow spotlighting the towering ancients, crafting an earthly stage, of sapphire and gold.
We came to you with nature’s bounty, one by one, asking inquisitive questions about the wonders of life
You adorned our form with daisies, roses entwined in our hair, weaved homely sculptures from the willow
I see the light, within your eyes, as you watch, innocence play.
All around the globe, I see light in destruction, light in birth, two sides, of the same cycle, twin patterns, parallel illuminations.
The fiery volcanic eruption, leaving fertile soil in its wake.
The crystallized minerals, forged deep into the earth, since the beginning of time.
The gleaming skyline, when darkness casts the day.
The same light of innocence, unknowingly given, As a gift from my daughter. I have no desire, to stand in its way.
It takes me back to the days, where the light was so bright, and safety submerged me within my own mother’s embrace.
