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
