AKA, Captain Shrink Wrap
T H E L I G H T of the C O R V U S
Otherwise Known As: “The Light of the World“
By Douglas J. Bartels ~ a penitent beggar (corvus) on a dunghill
The Light, white, bright
Filters through the shadows of branches
A sparkling sight and warmth
My soul now somewhat softened
Ready remove the shadows blight
Prospecting the darkest night below
Unearthed
A coursing portion of my soul
A trickle now of self seen light
As light begets light and life
Even amidst the “Cras, cras…” noise
Of my blackest fowl soul–“tomorrow, tomorrow”; no!
I rather read poetry, of mine or another
Seeking light for light
light for life
More light today than yesterday
From darkness shown the light
We, you and I, the light of the world
Shine as Corvus’ stars in heaven
