The Light...

Every day unfolds between sunrise and sunset
Drawing back curtains normally invites wonder
Daylight hours usually determine one’s mood
Attitudes so easily beset by disappointments
Or energised to make the most of each day
Light influences so much of life’s direction
Shreds and shards seep into darkened rooms
Instantly there is warmth and a sense of good
Inspiration thrives where light is all around
Photographs can capture unexpected scenes
Especially where light has seeped into view
There is a brilliant luminosity on a sunshiny day
Spirits rejoice and feel uplifted during those times
Summer’s blue sky colours the ocean’s wavy waters
Feeling good absorbs the best of sunlit opportunities
Motivation welcomes the joy of daylight’s presence…

  1. "Inspiration thrives where light is all around." I feel that heart-lift too when the light and sunshine arrives in spring. A lovely poem, Eileen.

  2. I especially like "there is a brilliant luminosity on a sunshiny day" as I find that so very true that sunshine uplifts my spirit and gives me energy. And yes, as you express in the last line....there is motivation! Evocative and enjoyable writing, Eileen!

  4. Light does have a direct effect on one’s mood. Light energizes us just like your poem reaches in and brightens the day. Truedessa
