A Guiding Light

An expanded and edited version, of my poetic response, to Icelandicblue's poem, "The Ablution of The Soul". http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/icelandicblue/1334221/

My body glows
Like a beacon

On a bleak wintry night.

To those
Who are finding
Their way

Home.

In giving them

A sense of real hope
Where none existed
Before now.

A simple gesture

Like a lantern placed

Before a window

Nothing more.

But worth everything
In the world
To them.
