When The Light Shines Poem by Sandra Feldman

When The Light Shines

Rating: 5.0


Blessed are the very Few,
Whose Souls are as transparent
As a drop of dew,
Who in their hearts can cultivate,
The Red, Red, Rose that fascinates.
Those, who teach us how to Love,
And thru this Love, can shatter hate!

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
For Susan Williams, poet and friend. But what a poet and what
a friend!

Who has done so much for me,
Deep things that count,
Things that you cannot see,
But to all,
She keeps giving, endlessly
COMMENTS OF THE POEM

Sandra! What a beautiful poem! ! ! ! I am so flattered that you mention me. However, I feel constrained to point out something here. You didn't realize it because you are that type of person but this poem and it's side note reveals: : .......YOUR heart- -a heart that has such joy, such sweet humility., such a great spontaneity, and such a basic and enduring friendliness toward your fellow man ........YOUR mind- - a mind that you keep abreast of the news from around the world and a mind that you nourish from so many different disciplines as well as a mind that treasures words and their many creative usages ........YOUR soul- - you see the wounded and you reach out to heal them, you see the frightened and you reach out to encourage, you see the heartsick and troubled and you stand by their side. ........YOU are what happens When The Light Shines, dear friend. This world could use a lot more like you- -you know, , those candles in the dark that light our way. 10++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

When one encounters such a person, it has an immediate impact. How delightful that you two have met and shared.
