Euclidean Insight

Photo by HD Wallpapers

sun descends through tall trees

a thousand glowing shafts

all at uniform angle of the hour

one mere glancing touch

by the circle of infinite time

guides these tangents of light

to my face to my eyes

all the warmth of the world

carried inside the promise

this day makes to no one but me

here alone in the hushed

summer church of my forest

composing my unspoken prayers

with the help of the light

that allows me to see

all that’s held in my heart

all the sins all the stories

the curves and the contours

that otherwise hide in the dark

of my chambered interior spaces

revealing the shape of my soul
