Intermission: Light Years

Tuesday, June 12, 2018

The shadowless true noon is not the only time life is beautiful.

Instead it is far more common
to see in yourself or in another

Not a fault in their or your nature
but simply light shifting as it does.

Like the slow lifting of a veil or like
the quick clicking and shuttering shadows
on your face while passing quickly under trees.

And even when you can't find the Sun uninterrupted

There is still wonder and kindness and peace and love and freedom
in the dripping of light through the leaves.

And to see in myself light and shadows and their ability to coexist is a hopeful thought.
