Godlight

“Any patch of sunlight in a wood will show you something about the sun which you could never get from reading books on astronomy. These pure and spontaneous pleasures are ‘patches of Godlight’ in the woods of our experience.”

                                                                                                                                 C.S. Lewis

the grip of darkness is broken

the wretched gray is gone

frigid winds are stilled

and in the moment of dawn

gold streams from the heavens

spilling through the trees

kissing the grass

turning the snow to diamonds

and the world sparkle bright

love in a sunrise

“Godlight”

In the woods
