The Key to the Light

The key was the light
The light was the key

Pure and bright for those who could see

Lighting the way
Opening doors

Fiery passion that can’t be ignored

The key is the light
The light is the key

Enchanting

Ethereal

And enlightening me.

The more I look, the more I see, but I’ve decided to leave things there for now. This has been posted in response to Hélène’s latest picture prompt at Willow Poetry. The link is below.

    She’s going to drop that flipping key,
    And then all in the dark we’ll be . . .

    Nah! Yours is better.

      I think your lines are taken from ‘The Key to the Light – the Dark Version’, Col… so they do fit in there, somewhere!
