What light from yonder window shone?

I sat in darkness

to rest my sore eyes.

The curtains were open.

Darkness reigned outside.

 

Then I saw a slanting light

come out of the night sky

appear through a lit up

giant Ash Tree.

 

It was a watery Moon

firing rays of light

that came flooding through

the window pane.

 

I watched the spectacle

in wonder for a while.

Then the moon

circled out of sight.

And darkness prevailed once more.

Shifa welcome back.

You don't strike me as a person who would suffer from the fear of missing out.

Your generous support has not diminished by your absence.

Thank you always.

This comment isn't exclusive to this poem, but all the poems that you've penned this week. Having been away from WOL for almost a week (which is a long time for me) reading your poems makes for an extremely therapeutic experience to offset the major FOMO I'd been having.

Thoroughly rejuvenating! Each poem more immersive than the other.

Abdul,

This poem has a special quality, seldom found these days, whereby the reader is immediately brought into the scene with the writer.

Thank you for this

Paul I'm sure that you're aware of the source of one word associated with madness. I won't say more.

Thanks for the like again.
