See The Light

Kabolobari Benakole9 June 2012
A light there is all ought to see The way it's meant to be: At every dawn it comes up free! And so it's meant to be.
A light this is all ought to see The way it's meant to be: When dusk is by and then it flees, Well, so it's meant to be.
And cloud sometimes conceal its glee And so it's meant to be; Yet only so by due decree, And free to some degree.
O, see the light, for all it's free But so to some degree.

a poem that captures the rising and setting of the sun. There is admiration in the ordered sequence of night and day. The use of glee introduces an element of personification that further buttresses the feeling of gaiety. The last stanza deserves comment - on the one hand, it celebrates that light and illumination are freely given; on the other, it also contains the suggestion that it is not al that free, that not all see it and that seeing it involves some effort! Lovely poem, though more beauty would have been achieved had an alternating rhyming pattern, symbolizing the alternation of night and day, been used! :-)

Nice delivery with regular rhyming patterns on the Quatrains. A sonnet of sorts but without the iambic pentameter. Repititive of the fixed role of the light. Mostly delivering a nostalgic and personalized imagery of the light especially along its temporal movements. At least when all fails in nature and when our worries continue, one thing is sure, tried and true... Our sun and our light will still come. Despite all our differences, imagine that all eyes on earth share one sun... Nice
