Beyond The Blinding Light

 

For all The Sun these Trees have took,

The Forest floor in Dappled Shade

has Nurtured Thought from Mind to Book

and with that Seed a Woodland made.

 

Though Sunbeams Shed their Rays Unbent

it's in The Shade Beyond the Glare,

Where Lies a Subtle Truth Unspent

that we might Capture Hidden There

 

So Stare not Blind Toward the Light

keep Measured Gaze at All Around,

for Sunlight Shows not all of Plight

Nor cares that it is Ever Found.

You're welcome David.

The poem is a nice metaphor for a limited perspective on life.

Very pleasantly written for my taste.

Many thanks

Thanks Auracle,

that's a good thing. I'm not fond of hearing my own voice and certainly not being confronted by my image. It's something you have to get used to I suppose.

Thanks for reading and your comment.

David.

Thank you for the flowers and for the comments.

As you can see I have disgarded my nom de plume of Carlton Creme and am now writing under my real name. I am pleased with this development.

Coming out from beneath a self imposed shade.
