Sunlight

Early morning sun
Filtering through autumn leaves :
Shards of golden light,

Sun through dancing leaves,
Scintillating shapes abound,
Lively pulsing light

Dispels autumn gloom,
Banishes the morning mist,
Clothes the land in light.

Autumn bonfire smoke
Supports pale slanted sunbeams
Through oak tree branches.

The sun grows tired
Sinking gently in the sky
Casting long shadows.

A ghostly twilight
Permeates the silent land :
Slowly, darkness falls.

Thanks Lin. The inspiration was Radio 3's National Poetry Day programme on Haikus
