THEN THE LIGHT

THEN THE LIGHT!

Trees and sky in the ravine outside my window -

gray, glum, lifeless - blending together

into one smear of winter monotony.

Behold! A brief glimpse of sunlight!

And the picture is transformed into a bouquet

backdropped by light gray and blue.

Subtle colors hidden within the bleak scape come to life:

off-white, rich brown, green, charcoal and beige -

all reflected in what was barren trees.

A moment before only shades of dreariness,

then the light!

How magnificent is nature, and how it does speak to me!
