Reflections Of Light


You know...
(but I'll tell you again)
I study the stages of light
its birth, its life, its end

I stop
and observe you in moderation
in certain degrees of day
absorbing love and isolation

Light falls
in a strange way at 7:22
when you're in the evening
dusk looks good on you

I wish
you would leave, you should leave
well enough alone when
I must squint to find reprieve

In conclusion
I see right through morning's guise
when it tells afternoon's lies

so I'll turn my focus to a steady ache
something that doesn't fall and rise

because you have become opaque
and now you only hurt my eyes.

ooo I love this, Dixie.  
It speaks to my heart

but the gift is nothing without work."

Most excellent Dixie!

For it was not into my ear you whispered
But into my heart..
It was not my lips you kissed
But my soul.
