Sing of the Sweet Sunlight of the Soul

November 12, 2019

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is philosophy by the numbers.

I welcome comments on my poems at http://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com .

A philosophical number poem about the experience and function of one’s inner light:

Sing of the sweet sunlight of the soul,

Energy stored as goodness and as grace,

Vivid food for hungry mind and heart,

Enduring source of wisdom and of art,

Nourishment no fortune can replace.

The light of one illuminates the whole,

Yet giving light’s a secondary role.

One first must light with love one’s inner space,

Nor need the sun do more to play its part.

Each ray of light’s the gift but not the goal.
