Half Light

My eyes observe as half-light snaps across clear ice,
Coldly skating to cast fresh grey and blue prisms,
Spanning arcs so silver-shot and precise,
Reflecting soothing shards into my dreaming visions.

In such a diamond-spangled fusion of petrol fire
Shimmer the multi-facets of your living soul,
How you surrendered a world for love and desire,
Reassembled in my flesh and made me whole.

And when these half-light fragments seam my days,
And all the waking seconds stream deliciously by,
I swoon at you and for your brilliant ways
And the love that fills my heart and my mind’s eye.
