Tonight I Will Write About Light

Tonight I will write About light— With meaning clearly One of blossom, Needing no catchy phrase For illumination, Nor word associations With fancy twists And tightly packed Lofty configurations… I simply take off The tinted glasses of Dimming, Polymer combination the Modern choice, But I have been a traditionalist Most my life, And reveled in the classic methods When choosing shading separation And only lately realizing Word the flaw In flawless articulation Silence golden when seeing clearly. I will not use Glisten and gleam, Gush of azure sky When floating high— Or set to earth Amidst gardens, my brightly buzzing Idling nature, More like bees happiest to flit not fly With their noses—I hope they have one— Not poke or pry But savor each nectar-brush Leaving only sacred dust The true pollen of God’s florescence My own favorite roses…
