Heaven’s Light

Poetry from Barbara Kasey Smith’s Corner of the World:

Mother’s frail fingers grip a brush
her eyes lack clarity to paint.
Clouds cast shadows on her watercolor.
She prays for sunlight to deluge the room
permitting her to attain a finished prize.

I watch as she awaits Heaven’s Light;
anxiety sneaks in stealing her positive expression.
She’s got fine art to share and to bequeath…
before her light fades into total darkness
leaving somber hours in waking days.
