patty,
your poem is superbly written and rich in imagery. Stunning art work and color presentation. Excellent use of metaphor about darkness overcoming the true Light. I enjoyed the lines: "My one true Light Right next to me through this night." Your Whitney is in excellent form. I love your spiritual message. Keep up the creative writing.
Melissa.

Wow... what a great poem. When I opened it, with this title, I was expecting a sad dog story. Boy was I glad I was wrong. Well written and such nice words that tell a story.
Nicely done.
John

Oh wow. This is a short poem with a fantastic message of hope declaring that your true Light will never leave you nor forsake you no matter what darkness you go through. I really enjoyed reading this well written Whitney poem.

Who is next to you? The person who is the light of your life or is it God? The capital letters on 'He' and 'Light' might make us lean towards God, but somehow I am leaning towards the person you love. You tease us with the dual meaning! Very simple words but your message comes through loud and strong. x moyramouse

    The double meaning was intended, but the capitalization IS for Him. Thank you for reading and the generous review. ~patty~

Wow, really pithy!

To say so much with so little is truly an accolade!

Darkness comes

The pain is strong

Foolish me

To think it gone

Where is He?

My one true Light

Right next to me through this night

The pathetic fallacy and tone are really macabre!

    Thank you so much for your heartfelt review. Poetry doesn't come as easy to me as writing prose, so your comment means a great deal. ~patty~

this could be a partner or the Lord, as he is forever by your side, whereas a partner can come and go as often as they please, nice poem that has deep meaning
