Have a Little Sunshine in Your Heart

October 29, 2020

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week, in honor of Halloween, is the spirit.

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

A Halloween poem about the immortality of one’s inner light:

Have a little sunshine in your heart,
A source of inner light amid the darkness,
Light enough to light your understanding,
Light enough to light your happiness.
One is like a firefly at evening,
Wisp of light within the gathering darkness,
Every now and then a blink of beauty
Enduring as a touch of timeless grace.
Nor will that grace within you have an end.
