Gravity of Light
At its core, it is a simple life.
Yet there are comfort rewards,
bed sheets of fine organic cotton,
a vista of snow-covered trees.
Things pleasing to the senses,
new perspective years provide:
adventures of appreciation,
actions of subdued reflection.
Swirling winds like memories
create drifts of clarity,
a reverse clairvoyance
in quietude of prayer.
Essential moments of
personal significance shared
mean less to others, but passion
spreads light regardless,
a magnetized true north.
Pondering the mutual
punishments and exploits
keeps one awake nights
or serves as soundtrack
to very vivid dreams.
Earthly Paradise -- Pierre Bonnard
