Light-Hearted

I like the Light on the water.
I like the Light on the snow.

I like the Light in the hollow.
I like the Light through the fog.

I like the Light piercing cloudbanks.
I like the Light in the glade.

I like the Light komorebi in Spring.
I like the Light cafuné in late day.
I like the Light mångata in Arjuna’s April Auriga.
I like the Light yura yura in Winter’s darkness.


I like best the Light in her eyes.
I like best the Light from her skin.
I like best the Light in her walk.
I like best the Light in her laugh.


You can keep your candle, your Equinox.
You can keep your noon-light, your lamp.
You can keep your algal fluoresce, your Moon.
You can keep your star-glimmer, your wick.

I like best the Light, that finds her,
that falls to her, that bends from Source,
to her, to me.  Her Light, I call it.
The only Light.
