Sunlight leaking

Sunlight leaking through every tree of girth 
White tree sap dripping onto the earth
Feeding insects scurrying with no fright 
This sap of life that gives our eyes sight
Gives us shadows to dance in praise till night 

Breaking through the web of branches impermanent 
A shining sap beyond the blue firmament 
That our forebears tasted every day with eyes bright 
A sap spread across our spinning world in plight 
Wrapping our world in sunlight beyond the great height
