The Light

Tags

forest, light, poem, poetry, rain, season, weather, winter

The weather is foul.
Between the forest shadow and me
an east wind grinds thin rain
into the flattened grasses.
But the light!
Low grey clouds diffuse
the winter sun’s rays.
All is a luminous blue green clarity.

Fun!

Seven crows tumble and scream
Wild exuberance
