Under the Light

 

Variations, the slaty scarp now a pale yellow,

A rose-red precipice under a dawn sky 

Fades into grey, the day gulps it’s caffeine.

Oh wondrous Light how you reveal new shades, new news,

Never the same. our dwellings too appear, doused in 

Pastels, perched above life’s haze, on promontories

And bluffs; built to blend; strong, withstanding the wicked

Gales, though below most skies, a calm and prevailing 


Paradise - so few troubles; relaxed Adirondacks, where

Chests take deep breaths, golden

sips of bourbon 

Lube blissful conversation; and prompt appreciation 

For surveying the sea coast where a distant 

Steeple and Cross ever so gently call and

Beckon to hearts and minds seated under the Light.
