New Light

Newlight

Invert the hourglass

Same sand, different day

Gravity flowing

Warm your face

Advance your journey

Glow back

Embrace the joy

Because you still can

Even given light

To plan that track

Choose your own pace

All yours

Gifted again

And challenged

Carpe victoria!

Begin Blazing

The east aglow with the newest fire

Breathing in the flames I find ignition

Illuminate the paths for cognition

All nights fears set upon final pyres

Their funeral dirges played on lyres

Now begins today a coalition

Of my bright soul and these apparitions

To rise as the sun higher and higher

Every dawn a symphony swelling

The clouds dance slowly, stately with fine grace

A matching light, inside me a welling

Heart pounding, I ready for the great race

To find the darkest evils for felling

A hero's tale, bitter and sweet of taste

©️Sylphide poem 2020, image 2017
