A Land of Light

[Russ]

Where light dwells, even the darkest soul may find itself
standing among the evergreens which are our dreams
watching the winds breathe past them, swaying, ever changing,
whisp'ring to us all the while.
Colors unfamiliar to his eyes, swirling 'round the treetips
patterns always seeming random until he watches long enough
for the meanings to emerge.
Where light dwells, the darkest souls will find new life
new songs to learn and share, with melodies that wrap 'round their thoughts
to carry them home.
And even if they never return to here with newly opened eyes,
they may always remember the shapes of things they saw
in the land where light dwells.

Nice poem Russ how many have you written besides the one's you have posted on here?! I could try and share some of mine sometime when I feel brave enough

[Russ]

I have no idea how many I've written. Most of them are collected on another site I keep as an archive, and when I feel like posting one of them somewhere, I can go to that site and collect what I want

Alicia, you should totally share your poems with us..why not? It is all about creativity right?? You are a great poem writer too!

Russel is an awesome writer-I remember one of the first things he did when we first started talking on MSN (our longest convo online at that time was 9 hours..straight!!) was send me the link to all of his poems..and I read them all..right there! Very impressive!
