Face the Light
Another spontaneous poem, written in an online poetry chat room.
I turn from shadows and face the light
It shines from an angel, her face so bright
The darkness beckons for my return
My heart hears not as this new fire burns
Like lightning on a summer night
So bright it hurts, and yet it's right
The shadows before are now behind
They cannot reach my exalted mind
Hoping for a warm embrace
Reaching out, I touch her face
The angel saves me, she makes it right
As long as I turn and face the light
