Light Glow | Germain Droogenbroodt

The Light

Ordinary but Bright
©2022 Miroslava Panayotova

It dawns … 
the sun rises
out of nowhere,
ignites
what only apparently
comes from afar
though it is near
and within us ... 

the light.

Glow

Unshadow the night
with the gold of the stars

restore silence
with words of light

don’t experience time as loss 
or as passing by

but of every moment 
the ephemeral glow.
