Gentle Light

• Artist: Sir Shay
• Description: Gentle Light (A vocabulary experience)
  I wrote this my Senior year of high school. It's one of the few poems I've written that wasn't completely angst-ridden and cliche of a 17 year old girl in this era. Appreciate simple things and complex things, often they are one and the same. Dictionary.com and Thesaurus.com can help you figure out what the big words mean if you don't know. Also, I've been told that the last 4 lines don't greatly impact the poem. Opinions on that? Enjoy! <3

Antiseptic light ebbs gracefully
Emissary from a dormant moon
Abdicating its starry pedestal
An advocate of aesthetics
Transforming even the banal and austere
Into baroque and majestic beauty
As the sun begins is ascension
The craven moonlight begins to coalesce
In deference to the copious rays
The egocentric sun emits
And in the sun's engaging way
The antiseptic moonlight is gently effaced
It's pale emulation of sunlight
Enshrouded by that which it seeks to rival
An esoteric enigma
Silently accepting its fate
As the sun elucidates
The eclectic surface that the moon caressed

You can definately tell that this was for school.. I feel thst when you throw too many complex words into a short piece like this, it makes it seem a little bombastic and off-putting
