Light

I sit and watch you smile. Is that an unearthly light? You came from darkness. I witness reflected light. I'm inexplicably drawn towards you Your sweet presence makes my spirit feel light. From uplifted branches colored leaves fall. Dancing around you in glowing sun light! A shadow falls across you pretty face You return to darkness, there is no light Perhaps I imagined you sitting there A wondrous thought bathed in unearthly light First attempt at this form.
