Festival of lights

poem by: Gerry Legister
Written on Mar 21, 2017

From the time, I had this dream
I remember the stars I had seen, 
And the splendor of lights passing
Between a new day awakening.
They came on tour to fill our eyes 
with the grandest festival of lights, 
dancing knights entertaining artists.
Lanterns glowing on a fiery flight.
Bring their blankets over our street.
Swirling up above and flying below, 
The orbiting moon making a shadow.
Heaven make the festival of lights, 
Illuminating brighter in our thoughts. 
The sky, is an amazing place, for stars to shine, 
With displays of romance in our time.
During the night, they make reflections 
Appear as carnival paths to all directions.
Clarity of emblem in the darkest nights, 
God lives on through the festival of lights.
Stunning deeds were drawn out from our soul.
People make the highest virtues in this world.
We are not alone, even when left on our own, 
The soul is never far away from the other home.
There are many nations of people and race.
All humanity is journeying to the same place.
Turn at the lights, crossing from peace bridge 
To find destiny where all pedestrians merge.
