"For with you is the fountain of life: in your light do we see light." Psalms 36: 9
"we see light"- i think of heaven and the gloaming. i think of Mike dancing, spinning, sipping with friends. i think of firelight flickering. i think of Mike's red hair sparkling from the lamp light. i think of hours spent sitting together, laughing, talking, honestly sharing. i think of hope. that's where it began. i think of dusk drives home after one hour visits that turned into three hours. as the light lends way to the the dark, i think how sweet light is.
Light
light illuminates so many things
the glistening brow of friend
the sweat smudge from the bridge pad of his glasses
the shine of his white teeth
glistening when he head tilt smiles
his eyes sparkling with joy when his daughter enters the room
the flop of his hair as he moves his head to see his bride
there is light in his eyeful joy expressed
light illuminates so much
Mike basks in light.

Lovely post. I'm sure Mike would want you to know how grateful he is for your friendship and devotion. He may just be dancing an Irish jig of thanks right now. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know Mike, but how lucky we would all be to be remembered with words like these, from true friends. Light, really is everywhere. Love you Eric. Thanks for remembering your friends with hope.
