Gauzy Curtains

Filtering filaments of shouting color
Dancing brilliant motes

Defining sunlight by crowding into invisible shafts
Reflecting hope and brilliance

Revealing resistance with every tiny fragment
Defying gravity to fly the final arc of existence
Catching the sun and revealing an unseen world

That every breath is defined by gauzy curtains of sustenance;
Should we be so dispassionate  that we inhale all this
Unknowing
