William Allen Jan 2019
It cut through the fog
the ever distant yellow glow.

Hints of red, dancing
between the corruscating beams of amber.

Resplendent light, so warm
and inviting,
surely had never been seen
like this before.

That light which broke through
the thickness of fog and tree
met my worn and tired face.
Filling each crease and fold with
a sense of exuberance.

The yellows & reds danced
joyously and how,
oh how I wondered
about their home.

Which surely must be
a hearth below a mantle.
This is part III of a ten-part series titled, "Effulgence: A Story of Light."

I wanted to create something that really captured the idea of light playing more than just the role of illumination.

Enjoy.

A corruscating epitome of beauty
Adorned in petals worthy of nobles
Beaming with smiles so infectious
With a sparkling dentition like the Angels'
That's who you are my love

None can dim the glory of the moon
Nor reduce the brightness of the sun
Tucked gently amongst the stars
They shine at their own time
Like the three wise men I followed your brightness
See where it led us today

Religious, tenacious, vivacious
With all the contours and  curves
Embedded in a statuesque frame
Laced with pointers that breed inspiration
You are a perfect definition of beauty with brains

I was looking for a friend
In you I found a soulmate
Knowing I have the you in you
Gives me new hope to face tomorrow
Come my love, come
Our journey to greatness starts here
For without you, there is no me
