Thanks, Jody! Callie and I are both poeming the psalms, but I've kept mine under wraps so far. Happy to link to hers! And I'm so glad you enjoyed the Shakespeare.
Here's a poem "Beacon" I wrote about light and dark. I prefer the light that people exude, but knowing the dark times of people makes the light all the better. Megan, you are one who exudes light because you understand the dark. Enjoy.
Such a wrap up of wonderfulness, here, Megan. Thank you for directing us to Callie's rendition of Psalm 4--the images resonated deeply.
I also was touched by the Shakespeare selection (and hearing you read it).
Thank you for offering a dip into poetry each week!

Beacon
A beacon of light
Is strongest in the dark
Your light is most bright
Becomes complete, stark.
Guiding, beckoning, luring
Calling troubled souls ashore
Your warm light is reassuring
Your comfort can not be ignored.
When consumed by upheaval
This beacon is needed most
Safely guides us away from evil
Toward our home, our post.
People are beacons of light
Speaking life to us unaware
Bringing us through the night
And showing that they care.
Thank you for your kind words, Sharmen, and for your poem. I love the image of people as beacons of light.
