(Original)
The subtle soft glow
Extends hope
Down life's dark drifts
And the dim gleam grows
If we simply trust
Shimmer over shadows
As eyes witness wisdom,
Brilliance talks truth
To what the light ignites
(Update January 24, 2026)
Your glow flickers
offering sight
surrendered to midnight fog
The dim beams promise
safe passage
through the shimmering shadows
My eyes trust
the truth of the light
to lead me through the night.
This poem was an experiment to see how many synonyms of light I could in include in a short poem without it feeling repetitive. How successful was I? I guess your feedback will help me measure the results.
