Dear puffy clouds,




I  love the way your puffs of  rich color and suns golden light,
are mirrored deeply in sister water.
She captures your entire expanse
in all its beauty.

 With the edge of darkened  rocks, stones and  bushes,
and  the varied lengths of  black earth,
  you are a rich blend of brilliant light and deep shadow.
I hear you gently asking
Do  you see yourself in me??
And I am amazed, honored and grateful
to say, I do!!

I am in awe of suns soft yet bold presence.
She reminds me, that her light,
 casts out, shadows!!

Give me the grace, when I look in my own mirror,
to see my brilliant light, and to remember
that that same light, can cast out my shadows
when I am willing to look and see.
