What Does Light Talk About?
by St. Thomas Aquinas
When you recognize her beauty,
the eye applauds, the heart stands in an ovation,
and the tongue when she is near
is on its best behavior,
it speaks more like light.
What does light talk about?
I asked a plant that once,
It said, "I am not sure,
but it makes me
grow."
My response to the recent challenge -- Write a Me poem.
Spinning
We lie in grass
thick as August
cradled between
our two homes--
one summer blue,
one gray with age--
and watch while clouds
hurl in circles
overhead,
slowly settling
into shapes
only we
can see.
