The Light appeared
- The Light of the world -
But cottages, synagogues, villas
Were shuttered or blinded.
Yet, through mercy, a few
Shutters were rotted, blinds
Were frayed: glimmers
Pierced gloom.
Attracted
Householders peered at the glow,
Loosened curtain or wood.
Cautiously, tenderly
Some souls
Moved to the doors, slid
Quietly into
The full blaze of the Sun.
The next few (D.V.) I have called, "Reflections".
