There Is Such Light

There is such light...

The ivory hue
of the dove-colored rain- cloud 
as it hovers; 

the opaque glitter 
of the sunlight as the rain-
drops are shaken 

off of leaves 
after the rainfall. The light
emerging 

as storm-clouds 
glissade into the heavens 
the tint of light-blue Robin eggs. 

Billows as bright 
as the Springtime Sun, that slip 
across the sky in April. 

A snowy Egret's 
spread wings in a summer
afternoon

as they lift- 
they are an elegant white wedding-
her veil, train…

A sunlit 
freshly washed silk dress, drying 
in a soft May sun.

A moon bow
alit on a body of water,
immaculate…

the purity 
of the stars that are diamonds 
cast across 

the celestial sphere 
as the sunlight ebbs, retreats
into a dusky sky.
