One Gentle Light Poem by keith Durante

One Gentle Light



One gentle light, a solemn candle burns,
to enhance a moonlit dusk or a heart that yearns,
to dream of distant pain, how it shadows many tears,
a soothing light that burns upon the soul and its' fears;

a simple comfort that nurtures the mind with universal wonder,
an enchantment of dark that stills time and unholy blunder,
yet for all the heart cries to feel, the soul must somehow cope,
upon the core of humanity burns a sacred message of hope;

how eager the youthful spirit rages with fire,
how sad with age, dreams fade, a feint glimmer of desire,
yet the world carries on reckless and bold,
as hope becomes a memory sometimes told;

One gentle light, a candle, like the heart it flames,
it spans time and reason with celestial names,
sometimes to seduce the world with one whispered breath,
upon your breast the vision of love survives even death;

in the seedy, cool, restless halls of dark,
one gentle light flames life's miraculous lark,
the divine journey is indeed, all we wish it to be,
an angelic state of grace between you and me;

One gentle light, a simple light of night,
it touches my soul with unearthly sight,
I feel its' warmth, deep inside where I live,
as if hope and love, I was born to give...
