Spring Morning Light – v5

This morning, that spring-morning light,
something special, magical, the low dim, soft bright
illumining, reaching treetops yearning for the light
nascent buds, the flowers, farther down, unfiltered
translucent, glowing a cherry red, afire, ablaze
burnt orange highlights, accents, dabbed as by a brush
Across the warming, waking canvas
illumined by spring-morning light

A warming sun, not yet hot, waking the forest, the woods
to my right, in the clearings, the noble woodlands
just off the highway, still visible into the thin groves
before the summer leaves block the view
Spring-morning light, washing through, urging
more than filtered light, shining spotlight still
down to the forest floor, all the woods awash, bathed
in that wondrous spring-morning light
