The light


The wisp of cloud draw parallel lines
of the remaining colour of the day
in the sleepy blue of the sky

jauntily the sun reflects
its tireless, never ending yellow
tenderly -for a last time- leaps across the tips of blade of grass
hugs the nets of dew on the meadows
winds its way up on wavering branches
blending in with the
shy red of the dawn

mischievously smiles at the yawning moon
coquets with the spry of the ocean
gives the refracting light
for a present to every grain of sand on the beach
secretly lays its remaining warmth
in colourful blossoms

perches high in the trees
dreaming away the day
glitters seductively in yellow eyes
dances in the black-white fur
gives it a lustrous shine of silk
tickles the velvety paws
hides during the last minutes of the day
in the light green of the bamboo

tenderly bends towards the horizon
waves to the goddess of cats in the stars
welcomes the moon on its round
into the night
