Existent Poems - Poems about Existent

Source of luminescence, perfectly bright God Himself is the self-existent light Radiating to us always, day and night To reflect His image with great delight… Having such light midst compassionate sight We can show blest goodness and kindness-might Defying obscurity of hate’s fright Illumining us to choose what is right… Lord, help me to shine with grace, that’s my plight As I abide in...

This miserable plight leaves me greatly despaired. A thick veil has been drawn all about me, Hindering my sight. What I see is ink blackness. I wish...

Clumsily checked for the switchboard to put on the light whence I suddenly caught a ghost at mirror sight; Promptly like a lizard I hugged the wall really tight which modestly stood startled toward my right; Fretting and sweating I counselled my might for the sake of convincing the spirit dressed in white; And somehow tactfully managed to flee...

Underneath the gunky brew There is a concrete floor. Underneath the floor Lies 3 snappy alligators. Inside each of those alligators Is a soul Twitching against death and survival. Adjacent to the gator stands the gator hunter Leaning against a parapet Of lava rock and sea salt.

We all have light inside us. The good Lord put it there. Sadly there are many whose light they do not share. Each person’s light will flicker deep inside the soul. Choosing to ignore it, you cannot be made whole. You never want to look into the eyes of those whose light died out (or never even flamed). Their eyes are black as night. We can’t expect...

The luminous spectrum of the omnipresent light envelopes my self-obsessed essence unperceived. I devise the free-will precepts captivating the ego within the confines of the conjured self-deception. As I saunter on the slimy slush of cardinal sin, the stigma of murky derision debases the self, the soul is stifled by the secret corrupt clutch, in penance I feel...

Why depend on external things, when it's all within? Your power, your radiance, and hope therein. Navigate the highs and lows, without fear, You're worthy, more than enough, let that be clear.

God knows I’ve tried To put it out Doused it, stepped on it Locked it in a dark place Denied its shadow Surrounded it With mirrors To blind its “self”. And yet it shines Screaming Through the cracks Of a timeless tomb Whispering in the silence Of denial’s din And still I flee The essence of This “self-existent light” ©5/28/2023 Self-existent light Poetry contest Unseeking Seeker - sponsor...

There are two kinds of light - the glow that illuminates, and the glare that obscures.
