Prisms

a Balassi stanza

 

Bringing warmth to her den

on the hall floor at ten,

vis'tors cavort to have fun.

She imagines romance

as the rainbows all dance

signaling light from the sun.

As defined by their source

when it's cloudy of course,
spectrums must then cut and run.

 

 

Other callers appear

at her door with no cheer

dark'ning its threshold of space.

They're a shadowy hall

where her brightness can fall

ending with smiles ev'ryplace.
Though she's trapped in one room
she's no tunnel of gloom.
Faith never fades from her face.

About the Poet
Growing older with some pains and discomfort, graying hair, glasses, partial plate and hearing aids but with complete assurance of my eternal domain. Saved by choice by Gods free grace by Jesus life, death and resurrection. Born and bred in the Bluegrass State for 24 years, I crossed the Ohio River and became a Hoosier forever thereafter until that time God calls me to my heavenly home. Christian for fifty-five plus years. Church musician and SS teacher for most all of my Wednesdays and Sundays. Public school teacher for thirty-six school terms; retired with a class now of three grandchildren off and on during the week. Wife for half my life to the same superman. Mama to two unique sons. Mother-in-law to a fine daughter; Nana to one darling girl and two handsome guys. God has blessed me abundantly; thank you, Father. God quiets my hackles; God quickens my heart; God quells my hunger. Blessed be His holy name.
