Light that lights all lights

Written: December 05, 2024 for contest Sponsored by: Unseeking Seeker _________________________________ Line of inquiry: “we look for that light eternal that does not come and go the screen upon which life plays cognised in staid stillness slow” _______________________________ We seek sparkle in the darkest night,  A blazing beacon is beyond sight. We duped ourselves into being led astray, whilst pursuing the eternal vortex ray. Here on life's stage, a fleeting, moronic play, A place of dreams, thanatopsis, and dismay. Behold, we stand in unwavering silence. We are all caught in the vortex of valence. Brobdingnagian force: a daunting fight, Roots of anathema claim their plight, Knuckles spin in phantasmagoric flight, Gibbous ashes, quenched fire height. The knuckle udder spins over stoutly. Motionless, as if arch dancing ghastly. Floating ash, formerly a maelstrom blaze. At last extinguished, a flickering haze.   In katabatic abyss, a chilling fright,   Synapse sparks, a vibrant bulwark might,  Sepulchral hypocrisy, masked in white,  We crave the truth, not sultry succubi plight.  But amid the vehement, shining light, Lies are sepulchral hypocrisy darkest night. A shield of lycanthropy, or so it would seem, Hiding hypocrisy is a Mephistophelian scheme. Still, we care around truth and what is real. Over behemoth tribulations, muster how to feel. Though knuckles spin in endless flight, We'll cling to hope, a beacon in the night. The cyclopean force within us is strong, He will lead us forward, where we belong. And when gibbous ashes abode down, Quenching the flames of doubt frown. In obsidian depths, we'll find our voice, A vibrant cry—a heart's rejoicing choice. Skedaddle the synapse's radiant glow, We'll gasp the path, our journey to bestow. Sepulchral shadows will recede away, revealing vibrant colors of a brighter day. And the necropolis of misery will fade, allowing room for genuine love to be displayed. Thus let us cherish that light divine, Eternal, steadfast, forever mine. For in its radiance, we're made complete, Reflecting beauty in each other's beat. In flawless harmony, our hearts entwine, souls connected in love's sweet shrine. Together we'll weather life's ebb and flow, United by that light, as one we grow.

A behavioral piece of one's many wrong choices and actions through life seeking a soothing resolve through a light of righteous direction and peace. I get the feelings of that light being faith based Lassad. Epic words used with much metaphorical meaning that few have the skill to do as you do regularly. Incredibly rich in thought and creativeness my friend. As expected from you. Blessings my friend...

SP, a lot of chaos in life we seem to endure according to this poem. You have a way to make life seem pretty much of a mess (lol) using some profound words and images. Then, and if we can, seems you say that love brightens things up and makes life much more pleasant. Certainly, we do find an element of truth when we can relate to others and foster more than just ourselves. A very interesting read. Smiles!! Enjoyed reading your work today. Many Tys again, sir!

Ah dr sotto, i think this has the vocabulary of one that understands and is familiar with the terminologies of internal human anatomy! Such sumptuous wordplay and flow of lines in this that made me think deep! You do rhymes very well! I love the ending that gives a feeling of unity and kindness while embracing light in the most selfless and accepting manner! Pleasure reading your work. Best wishes for the contest! Sending you light

"In flawless harmony, our hearts entwine, souls connected in love's sweet shrine. Together we'll weather life's ebb and flow, United by that light, as one we grow." A delightful conclusion to a lovely poem written in pompous diction. The use of words is so picky that we need a dictionary to look for their meanings. Your extensive vocabulary has always amazed me. The eternal steadfast divine light alone can brighten our murky paths. A great entry for Seekers's contest. All the Best, dear friend.
