Light In Animate Motion

Dying rays of silent stream into a silent room It’s golden beams dancing Light in animate motion Its master is soon to sink below horizon’s velvet hills Cornflower, tangerine and crimson stain the sky Clouds drift…their feathered underbellies glowing bright Anticipating Dusk’s end, the first pair of paragon eyes appear Twinkling… Light in animate motion A matchstick strikes! Its orange tongue licks the gathering darkness A candle’s lit! The wax melts off the darkened wick It hisses from the water of last night’s rain Light floods the room halfway through Its finger reaching out to the shadows Light… in animate motion It soaks the curtains and chairs Light in Animate motion The silver disk begins to wax Soon the dark is filled with silver tridents Ceres! She dances through the fields Light in animate motion
