A second book ~ Fifty Seven Pebbles, was published in September 2015...I am presently compiling the content for my third book. Thank you for visiting my Blog...

Light...



Everyday moods can be easily tainted by weather
Once night’s curtains are drawn to reveal the day
Gloomy grey clouds influence a first impression
Whilst inside candlelight casts its cosy warmth
Illuminating all corners of the living room
Shadows dance around flickers of flame
Until shards of light gradually tease my disposition
Inspiration impresses itself upon a fresh imagination
Where clusters of mysterious thoughts get together
Then dark and light merge to become glorious creations…

    I love the beauty of flickering candlelight, which does entice us into a happier mood.........on the grey days, I am always happy to be cozily indoors.........

    I completely relate to the first line. I'm a little tired of grey gloomy days, and even one small candle seems to give off warmth and a happy sort of glow that can make any gloomy day feel better.

    " . . . shards of light gradually tease my disposition . . . " What a neat image. They are so sharp! Good, good! At twi-light when inspiration soars, we see beyond the normal boundaries of things. This is an ode to creativity. Love it.

    Dance of light and shadow is what life is. And so is creativity. lovely when candle glow overpowers gloomy grey moods.

    I enjoyed the lines:
