TENDER IS THE LIGHT:



Tender is the light, upon hills, hamlet & soft lands,
Lovingly caressed by fingers of God´s gentle hands,
Pastels abound, lilac, cream, dusk rose & cool mint,
Sunflower yellow, peach & soft greys of silvered flint.

Tender touched, soft light upon the babe´s new head,
Dappled through the oaks, as boughs entwine & wed,
The green fields minted, where the old sheep graze,
Lilacs, lupines & lilies, birthing in the new sunrise haze.

The primrose sunbeams, kissing pale lavender shadows,
Apricot dusk, masquerading as the old musk tea-rose,
Twilighted breezes wafting to waiting magnolia moons,
Sky-lighted swallows, drifting towards young cyan Junes.

Tender is the light, upon the ancient village tombstone,
Sweet & soft upon the lake, who sits still, cool & so alone,
Tender is the light, touching the old man´s wrinkled cheek,
As the last of the light is carried away on the spring tern´s beak.
