Look how the sunlight
examines your small plot of earth
(or acres if your lucky).
Hour by hour,
streaking through summer leaves.
Season by season;
dazzling the hills of snow,
warming the soil in spring fields,
softening the mountain edges,
washing the rushing streams.
Watching every day;
especially evenings,
when the color of light
warms,
just before it fades.
