    unexpectedly, my poem insisted on rhyming so breaks the rules of this contest so I am putting it down here:

    Light Walk

    To disappear into a picture
    To follow a strand of light
    To wake up to a morning
    Without sleeping through the night
    To be the cold, cold water
    To float upon a cloud
    Feel the pebbles underfoot
    Walk the islands’ sandy bough

    Light here-captured, smoothed by eye,
    Cleansed by dream,
    Silence enamored
    Of the things that can’t be seen
    If there is a ship that’s sailing
    To this liquid happy spot
    If there is a way of waiting
    In this light – delightful thought.

    And would I feel its fingers
    Wrap its colors in my hair
    Would they be translucent
    Would they smell of fishy air?
    Or soft, like breath of roses
    As the artist here has caught
    I’ll now extract myself, tread earth
    And await the Light of God

    jingle
