A Light in the Darkness

a light in the darkness

 

A light in the darkness, a beast in the shadows.

The storm brewed under the sea, white caps waving to the sun with a graceful peak slowly surrendering to the shore.

The clouds simply gave texture to the sky, the blue sky, no threat of rain.

There was a light in the darkness, how it glowed, I did not see the beast lurking, nor did I hear his hiss. Wasn't it a melancholy hymn, repeating grace? How that tenderness in your eye spoke of hope… or was it longing for something yet obtained?

"Doesn't love conquer all?" The beast taunted him.

Then under those gentle waves, under that glistening sea, there with the sunlight piercing through the clouds, a distant siren sang, "Glorious life source! Oh what a triumphant symbol." 

How could you hold on when the beast pulled you from underneath?

  1. Beautifully written.

  2. Amazing words, Corey! Light is a focus for me this year and this fits right in there. For we need the light to keep the darkness back and away.

  3. This is a beautiful poem, with so many images which I will read many times over. It might be about bi-polar disorder and if it is I just wanted to tell you that I also have someone close to me who suffers from it, and whenever he has been taking the meds regularly and feels so much better, he then stops taking them because he feels so well, and then depression hits hard, and it’s a dangerous time. I will be praying so much for Thierry. Also I have relatives in Greece, have been there and love Greece so dearly. I got heavy tears reading your last post and thinking of your dear Annie. She has affected all the lives of your readers in such a positive way, I know I will never forget her and keep the memories of everything I read about her which your wrote. Thank you for writing your heart and please know that your sharing is something precious.

  4. So poetic..your sensitive words.

    Praying for Thierry and all of you.

  7. Corey, My heart sank when I read the news. This is so beautifully written. The beast is so perfect a way to describe it. My thoughts are with Thierry, I picture him smiling at the dinner table, in a photo you posted. You and Yann are such good friends. Bisous to you all.

  8. I am sending positive thoughts to all of you!

  9. Sharing the sadness that not everyone is able to see the light shining. The beast you speak of is so hard to understand, but I sense that somehow you do. I wish you strength and courage for whatever comes. If only the light of love could always conquer!

  10. Beautiful poetic writing, Corey.
    Peace be with you and Yann as you stand, once again with Thierry on his rough road. Your faith and friendship are precious gifts for so many.
