Light of Day, by George J. Dance
The clouds of heaven wander whitely by,
exotic beasts across a cyan sky,
black clouds stampede upon the ground - they rule
this sauna world - they dim but do not cool
& as they pass it blows my mind:
a silent symphony I find
when shadows fold & drop away
into the lemon light of day.
The trees are fountaining: cascades of green
proclaim their beauty for my dear Maureen;
the green is falling, flooding all the ground,
a verdant sea that makes me long to drown
& as it falls, I want to cry
to know that all of this will die,
that everything must wash away
beneath the liquid light of day.
Her body fits me like a silken glove -
The sun is burning on my back with love -
Past life sustains anew life, layer on layer,
while brass of birdsong blows throughout the air
& as it blows thoughts pass my mind:
this light outside is hers & mine
for it will always be this way,
right here, right now where we will stay
within the living light of day.
