Feelngs: Shimmer In Delight Poem by Margaret Alice

The sky is glowing with a soft pearly
light, slightly blue, tinged with white

diamonds in silver sprinkles cling to the
leaves; grass glowing in green translucence

earth shining as a pearl in soft Vermeer
light, palpable life force in grass

and trees with ecstatic awareness of the
sweetness of life - the transparent glow

intensifies, essential vitality grows,
green leaves are talking to me - while

the sky beams down in a smile - I’m smiling
back - tree trunks and paving stones

shine in silver translucency; exuding
contentment, each physical thing

is weaving a web of wonder, existence
as victory over non-being, a feeling

of desire and fulfillment, provision
and need in harmony, balm for the soul

the sun just came out in an explosion
of bright silver light, loving all

together we shimmer in delight
