The Bringer of Light

Posted by well-wisher on November 20, 2011 - 02:29
from the ABC set Poems

Making all things shine; that is your noble art.
‘twas you who poured the gold into each atom of my heart.
Yours was the kiss that kindled this bright candle in my breast,
the love-born light with which, in worlds of darkness, I am blessed.
“Fiat Lux”, you whispered very, very softly in my ear,
“Let there be light” and, in my heart, a thousand suns appeared.

Thank you, pia. I'm really glad you liked it.

My school's motto was "Confiance", not Latin but French for "Confidence".

"Ex amore victoria". ("From love comes victory".)
