Shifting Light

(My Window Sill)
Shifting light, shifting emphasis
Glancing down a darkened hallway
Watching for the sun to rise
Subtle nuances of light
Giving credence to the vision of our eyes
Tonal clarity, amber in the dance
Sunset on a hillside and on stone
And mortar, casting shadows
Sparkling on the lake
Walking hand in hand with wind upon the meadows
Grey and white, black and ice
Every hue from pink to gold and embers
Adding rivulets of smoke
And rain and freezing crystal,
Fire and sudden shredding lightning’s stroke
Every bold statement of color
Delicate hues, faded, peeled and bleached
Each one has its tale to tell
Looking through the glass
As the light falls on my widow sill.
