Thread: The First Day of Light

Gleaming so far away
yet seemingly not at all...
the date, December 24, the
day when light began to shine.

All the months, and all the days,
pale away, just pale away...
For misery has been here for
a year, its dark ethers taking one and all.
But something new has come on
this new day.... a new word, a new meaning

Hope

seconds tick, and it grows
ever brighter.
And we wait, for we know now
that dawn has come to a damned world.
A line of a babe, the source of light,
and crying coming far away...

December 24, this was the day
light returned.
and for tomorrow we wait,
for day has yet to break...

I enjoyed the feeling of hope that you put into this one Beary, very nice.
this one's my favorite stanza,

seconds tick, and it grows
ever brighter.
And we wait, for we know now
that dawn has come to a damned world.
A line of a babe, the source of light,
and crying coming far away...

Glad you like it! And that stanza was one I did like personally myself, second favorite for me was the last line.

Hi Bearycool,

Merry Christmas and thanks for a charming and uplifting piece.

I hear there is not enough darkness in the whole world to put out the light of a single candle, well you sure shine a beautiful light here.
