Lantern Light

I walk by lantern
light, reflecting
the moon
so far
behind me.

I walk by lantern
light in a deserted
darkness.

I walk by lantern
light.  Where will
it lead me?

My goal is to create and share poetry with others
who write, or simply enjoy reading poetry.  I hope to touch a nerve
in you, and feel your sparks as well.

    Wonderful Sara. Sometimes a journey without dictated destination, is often enlightening, occasionally thrilling, and always surprising. Loved this… 🙂

    Sometimes, we don’t know where we are headed.   Walking in the darkness finding fragments of light along the way.
