4 Shades of Light

 

          Sunlight gleams through trees,

          painting the white roads yellow

          the rusty rails, gold.

 

 

          Eating Sunday roast,

          brightness through the window

          warming up our skin.

 

 

          A fishing lake, black

          as an oil slick on a sea;

          light licks through the pines.

 

 

         The autumnal light

         kissed her like a kitten’s mouth

         edging through the trees.
