So fragile in its radiance, <br />And yet you saw my light, <br />The shining all but vanquished <br />Like shadows in the night; <br /> <br />Unwilling to admit defeat <br />A heart just barely beating, <br />Hoping for that miracle <br />Rare and ever fleeting; <br /> <br />Somewhere in the darkness <br />You heard my silent tears, <br />Threatening to drown me <br />In the sorrow of my years; <br /> <br />A consequential prisoner <br />Within my solitude, <br />Awaiting with impatience <br />That perfect interlude; <br /> <br />Alit with fire and brilliance, <br />A rare and precious stone, <br />Through eons of eternity <br />On wings of angels flown; <br /> <br /> <br />Fanning recognition's flame <br />Love within me knowing, <br />Set my dying soul afire <br />And saved me by your glowing. <br /> <br /> <br />8/29/2009<br /><br />Linda Ori<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-glowing/
