Light – renga completed
7January 7, 2018 by petrujviljoen
Renga collaboration between Sara and myself.
Come and stand beside me at the window,
the world out there is waiting for us.
The day broke early, light scattering, looking
for refuge from the delusions of the night –
all those dreams shattered, now a thousand shards,
melting and fading in the sunlight. I still reach for them,
a sudden refraction bewilders the senses
while day’s mundane routine veils a private loss,
as if the rhythm of this ordinary day
contains some charm to hold our lives suspended
believing yet we hold the sway
the tweak of light, a spark adrift confirms –
and is belief enough? A single spark,
a single flame that shudders in the wind?
When there’s nothing else? but a faith in a
far flung dawn, another light – scattering
diffracted rays that owe their very beauty
to the barrier that defines their limit.
Prisms bursting colour beyond the origin
diffusing value now…

Thanks!
You two are an amazing team! This is so well done.
Thanks Jilly! And thanks for hosting!
My pleasure
I’m glad you enjoyed the process. It’s great to get the opportunity to collaborate. I think it came out well, and I love your ending. Hope to get the chance to do it again sometime!
I’d love to see others taking it up too and how many different roads it will follow!
