one thousand lanterns

One spark in your eye could light up one thousand lanterns hanging off the trees in a forest dark with night. This you are to me –
you are my lantern in the dark, the pale rose in a desert of red, the moon with a thousand fires for a heart: the man with the light in his eyes.

    Excellent writing Erika, lovely bright words bringing the light of clear seeing within your good self. the pale rose in a desert of red came over as particualrly stunning and what came over is a symbol of hope here. Very lovely writing

  • “a symbol of hope” – I love your interpretation dear George.
    I will take that and keep it :)
