Changing Light

By LiteraryBear

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

As I walk slowly down the path that I have taken almost everyday of my life, the light changes, and I see everything anew.  Every stone in the road stands out with startling clarity.  Each leaf on each tree holds a wealth of beauty made known only to those who care to look.  The wind blows against my skin, and I feel the fine grains of earth carried on the currents of air, as well as smell all the glorious scents of nature. I stop and revel in this fantastic awakening, but as soon as I stop to take hold of it, a cloud once agains covers the sun and everything is restored to its former hue.  A sad moment, without a doubt, but I am left with the knowledge that life can be more than shadows and repeating scenery.
