STACIA RAYNOLDS


STACIA RAYNOLDS
A SOUL’S DARKEST NIGHT:
JAPANESE CHOKA POEM

Torment deep inside
Runs into the woods to hide
Moon, an enemy
Shining light upon her soul
Crouched but overcome
By beams reaching and grasping
Her eyes then shut tight
Sinking in the dark of night
Perception not found
If visions of light not seen
Within her mind’s gaze.
Though a light has overcome
Her soul’s darkest night
Warm embrace inside her soul
Seclusion- no longer hides.




THE SYMPHONY OF DREAMS
The stars shown bright
Upon the expanse of the midnight sky
Embracing hope, through the darkness nigh.

The hues of the horizon fade
While hope begins to rise
Within the illumination of the night skies.

The galaxy is opened
A bridge where the mind frees
A transition, composing release.

A blackness once feared
When thy eyes were shut tight
A promise is spoken, through the light of the night.

The chasm finds closure
Placid, quietude merge in
Freedom is privilege, now found from within.




IMAGE OF GOD: SONNET V

The galaxy’s vast open space and time-
Grasping a chasm unknown to this world.
Are we humans no larger than a dime?
Between the vastness and protons curled
Into an image created on high?
Is there a fortress large enough to hide-?
Beneath the greatness of an open sky-?
Protection on earth where we do reside?
A great deliverer mighty in strength,
Reaches down from the vastness’ open space
Where mountains are grand compared to our length.
A mediator- unfailing love’s grace
To be a high tower here on the ground
Below time and space where glory abounds.
