Light To Come

Stay awake, hoping.
This time without

words is space
parting into the possible

meaning to tender
in celebration. Slow to quiet

approaching. It's enough,
the light to come.

    Such a good poem, economical on words. Images sharp that five a very rich, contemplative feel. Really nice.
