A Shard Of Light
A Shard Of Light


A shard of light broke apart
From gigantically magnanimous thunderclouds,
Tearing skies it fell on the earth,
Enkindling, alighting quiescent hearth
What a marvelous blaze the shard possessed
And a shine that of- freshly forged sword
Graciously it charred, with its mighty fire
The weeds of evil and fiendish desire
But all that remained, in the barren land
Buried underneath the scorched residuum
Dormant and dead, tangled and furled
The shard freed it from the tenebrous world,
All the light that was encompassed within-
The shard, Illuminated expanse around,
Engulfing, devouring --reverberant murk
Diffusing the rays of hope abound
And all the warmth the shard possessed
It dissipated to the sprouting buds,
Afresh, anew, they grew and bloomed
Uprooting infernal sylvan that loomed
