Illuminating Light

It's something not seen but felt deep from within

Rays that glow like peace when war ends

The Illuminating light is sought after by many.

The road is long

But the rewards are plenty

So, elevate and enlighten your mind

Stand tall like the cedar tree

And leave that empty past behind

This is my first professional poem

which won one of the 2006 inter-

national award. Any use of this

poem without my permission is
