Living on the Light

(c)  By:  Sharon Slaton Howell



It has been said that
Poets live on the light of nature.
Well, those who write poems
That speak of things sublime
Have to have that Light divine.
(At least I do)
Having a small part in
Enlightening a world so dark,
                           Is no lark,
For me, it takes ever greater
Staying close to God
To hear what to write,
Relying on His inspiration --
Not my own.

I thank God
I can't do it alone.
