first thing one mid-August morning …



one of the lovely things about living
in a forest clearing, as we do,
is to be greeted each morning
by the earliest rays of sun’s daily journey
striking tree trunks and bouncing off leaves,
from the low angle at which its light enters our day,
adding a unique colour and translucency
to our treescape and to our rising.
it seems that the light
that shines on those tree trunks
and dances on the leaves
is joy and delight shining on us
as we start a new day
