The Guiding Gleam Poem by prashant shaurya

The Guiding Gleam

Rating: 5.0


Within the heart where vibrant waves
rise and fall to ocean's test
Many ships through reflected light
steadily steer till they are blessed....

Ashore their stands a bright light house
like a mountain looming tall
and guides the ships if they are right
or are drifting away at all...

When lost between misleading waves
they try to steer the righteous way
the golden glow then rescues them
as tides change with glistening spray....

When these waves rest in peace
as each ship swiftly sails the sea
with all it's might the gleam of light
haloes the heart's true destiny...

Nice syllabic meter with a good cadence to it. I was a little confused with the intent in these two lines: and guides the ships if they are right or are drifting away at all... do you mean they are on the right course? in the first line. And in the second isn't it 'or aren't drifting away at all'? I like the metaphorical intent in the poem. it guides the ships as if on course and they don't drift away at all.. is this your meaning? I'm not sure. a poet friend RH Peat

Oh what a wonderful comparison: 'Within the heart where vibrant waves exuberantly rise and fall many ships of black and white steadily on the waters crawl.... ' +10
