Light in thought
Genesis 1:3 New King James Version (NKJV)
3 Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light.
Rising sun
The sun cleared the horizon blinding the eyes it came to enlighten
An oxy-moron like a firefly who tries in daylight the desert to brighten
Moving my head sideways to seek a place of shadows
Water in my eyes as a wrap of protection
Thoughts traveling the byways as in a hazy meadow
Where cows get by in the dew’s reflection
It seems that the light right now demands all my attention
It appears that the arms of trees are fading in brightness
How is it possible that my eyes here seek protection?
Not to be blinded and escaping into emotional dryness
Jan Wienen
