Night Light

By Mike Keating

Unexpectedly
Bright
Within the summer
Night air
Not Unlike the
Beacon
Piercing
Thru a Dark
Void guiding
Seafarers
Homeward …
These
Random
Sparks
Dance to
An unseen
Spirit
Oh another,
And one more,
These
Summer
Surprises
Secretly
Transform
Our past
To present
Our remembered
Childhood
With every
Blink
We inwardly
Smile
With
Wonder
A simple
Gift
Of nature
Whispering
Go to the light…
It is good…

About The Author

Mike Keating
Mike has been jotting down poetic verse since his sophomore English teacher, Mr. Healy, introduced free form poetry to the class. As an Emersonian philosopher, nature plays an important role in a transcendental way in many of Mr. Keating’s poetry. Nature becomes a clear metaphor for hopes, dreams, and sadness making way for resurrection possible. Mr. Keating is a well-known businessman and is a part time professor at Becker College in Worcester, Massachusetts.
