Light Through Shuttered Window
Light Through Shuttered Window
A writer's soul is like the sun,
shining, illuminated,
too fiery bright to observe
directly.
That sun hangs outside the window
of one’s life,
fiercely gleaming through the partially-closed slats,
showing only one vibrant
slice
of one ray
at a time.
Poetry is that ray of sunshine,
a single focused beam
examining one still moment in a life,
then changing as the sun
moves through the sky.
Leaving darkness,
and the memory
of a
vision.
My poetry e-book, "Light Through Shuttered Window", is a compendium of 76 poems and songs written over a 10 year span of time. The poems are about life, love, and the pursuit of creative endeavor, plus a few other surprises. I hope you find inspiration and beauty within its pages.
As for the name of the book, I saw this stunning picture in a magazine, the warm afternoon sunlight flowing through weathered wooden shutters and the poem "Light Through Shuttered Window" was inspired. I dedicate this tiny tome to the writers and readers who love poetry.
May You Never Thirst!

Here’s Christina Wiley’s review for “Light Through Shuttered Window”:
“Diane, I have to say that I have a bit of a problem. In reading your book it is very hard to pick just one favorite! Poetry is truly a personal expression. Your poems are a gift to the reader. It’s a gift of the most personal kind and I found myself drawn in and as I read them I felt transported in time to share these experiences with you. You have an incredible talent and I’m so glad that you have shared it with us in your book, “Light Through Shuttered Window.” What a treat! I am so glad that it is now part of my personal library.”
