Seeing Things

It still rinses everything
in a sacred wash,
gives a significance beyond 
the boundaries of the natural.
The soft light falling on a field 
appears sanctified, filtered 
through a prism to dim 
the Divine and so not blind
human sight.

It seems too simple to be only
the blessings from a mortal sun
and yet, bathed in its golden glow,
butterflies flutter 
from flower to flower 
as beautiful as angels.
