See The Light
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
