Tag Archive: the mystery of light


Swoopin’

I fly quicker
atop cold currents
loving blend of my heat
in chilled wind

Warmer drafts
slow me I drift
lazily languorous

Chagall 2016

Beamed

chagall backdrop

A sun ray – epiphany –
enters my periphery

I guess it’s the tilt
of the earth on its axis

or maybe it’s just
the wind’s design
to move the leafless branch

to enable the light
to dance at the fringe

on the edge
of my awareness

Light Like Abaci

chagall backdrop

Going to sit here a while
let the drizzle pass

looks like nothing but blues skies
blowing in

Rain
smatterings of
aqua strokes
bristle wet
on my skin

do they fall
or suspend
there
and there . . . ?

curtains of light
visible with the sun
at the cloud edge

like stringed beads
billions of strands

the path of each photon
distinct

a harp of light
that interleaves darkness

this choral day
now that the rain has stopped
