* The Light *
but vivid colors distract..
Refracting through my mind..
Detracting my thoughts elsewhere...
A canoe on a mountain lake,
...us in life...
You can paddle wherever you'd like but..
you'll still be on the lake.
Push back the shores of consciousness,
Changes the streams of thinking,
Get lost to find freedom..
Walk away to create a path..
Mudcrabs create trails in the sand,
ants and vines will cover all one day..
On and on it goes,
until this big fiery ball-of-light
outgrows and envelops us all.
Long after it's evaporated all water,
and burnt black the earth..
We won't be here..
Just a snapshot in Time
A flash
Might as well smile for it..

Very beautiful poems, both, in which light, white, but especially, hope plays a fundamental role. Although in the first poem you speak of a mother who early sees her son die, there is still a light guiding us. That light, although it is not outside, must be inside us, guiding us in that constant rowing that is life. Beautiful words for this day, @striderpunk
Thank you @nancybriti! I'm glad that you noticed the optimistic tone. We should spread more hope and love by getting in touch with our internal guiding light. Feel free to check out the 3rd and 4th poems connected to this theme. Hope you had a wonderful weekend!
