LIGHT

LIGHT

Pretty playful dancing dapples
Shining rays of light
Radiant skies in the morning
Glowing skies at night
Sunrise to sunset
Contributor to life
Reflections in water
Expressions in glass

Meditations on the present
Ruminations on the past
Translucent, transparent
Inimitable, insubstantial
Sometimes pale
Sometimes bright
Weak or strong
It weighs a song

About adeeyoyo

I am a middle-aged South African woman, living in Johannesburg. I began writing poetry towards the end of May 2010. I love animals – sometimes more than people!

    Gorgeous poem and photo ~ perfect juxtaposition!

    Especially enjoyed:

    Meditations on the present
    Ruminations on the past
    Translucent, transparent
    Inimitable, insubstantial

    “it weighs a song” or perhaps “it’s worth a song” (actually a symphony with this picture)

  3. gospelwriter says :

    Lovely picture, lovely words – where would we be without light?

  4. Tilly Bud says :

    That is a cracking last line! Wonderful phrase.

  5. Cindy says :

    WOW adee, this is great.

  6. colonialist says :

    I particularly like the dancing rhythm of the first two lines.

  7. brian says :

    a song it does…a great bit of word play, esp in the opening line rather a tongue twister…

      Thanks, Brian. I see what you mean about a tongue twister – I didn’t notice it, even when I said the poem aloud just before publishing… 8)

    And so pervasive and influential in our perception of almost everything. Lovely, Adeeyoyo. bb

      Thank you, Adair. Hope you are keeping well. It’s been some time since I popped over there. Last week I managed to get onto Madmom’s post, but couldn’t access yours. :)
