Transient Photons

Poem Body

Within the morning’s glance you lie
Beside me in restful compose
While peeking through the bathroom window
Steeply angled, refractory light beams
Come darting through the door left slightly ajar
Exhausted from their journey of ninety-three million miles
Transient photons illuminate your supple form
My eyes are blessed by this sight as are my fingers
Who endlessly caress your outer thigh
Tirelessly chasing their own shadows
Leaving smooth tiny wakes on an ocean of creamy silk

of light, the time of morning. The exhausted transient light, refracted, gives an image of beams of light leaving just a bit of themselves everywhere they touch. Such a simple image, an awesome picture. ~ Geez.

What a beautiful glimpse into someone's morning, Tim. I really liked the angles and photons - almost the science behind light and shapes - and the journey that light makes travelling (and that thought of light being exhausted) - just to touch us.
Beautiful.
