Beautiful Light
Dawn of Illumination
Filling up the
senses
spaces and places
In the soul
Completion, unity
Inspiration
Wondering, wondering
Naïveté and innocence
Before the Fall
Beautiful songs
Within the heart
Of music
Trace a line
of caresses
Across my mind
Across my soul
Songs that surely
bear the stars
Along the Milky
Way
Past tall spruce
silhouetted against luminous skies
Branches sighing
softly in the breeze
As moonlight
traces shadows of intrigue
Across glistening
snows
Beautiful
Is the fire
Lit within
And viewed in
shape and form
In crackling
logs before us
And we are drawn
Again
To Beautiful
Light
And the Dawn
of Illumination
That is the merging
of understanding
And completion
