One Light Unto Another (new Poetry)

Ron Koppelberger

One Light Unto Another

Kindness in nascent availing delight, the sturdy shoulder

And the butterscotch sweet summoned by the tears of little whelps

And tender tots, by the need for grandmas gentle kiss

And laced sneakers for holiday seams, the breath of an

Ancient memory, borne by the lines of bygone love,

Called up and whispered complete by the

Reflection of an aged countenance once touched

By the kindness of a moment in time

And the passage of one light

Unto another.
