National Poetry Day theme - Light

Sunlight Time

The Sunlight drifts down like a yellow foggy dust

It makes the trees immediate in their surrounding

It makes the “now” the cliffs

The clarity of water

Being is under its skin

Un-being is behind in the depths, the past

This land has all memory in the dark

None in the light

It is new under the Sun

It can be new for us too

If only thinking did not make it old

Known and familiar

If only knowledge had not cast its shadow over our minds

Our Nature

Before the beginning was the Word

The Word was in darkness

But Adam was in lightness

We need new eyes to look

At the world in the light it was made to be seen in
