Softly lit and much to think on, this stance, what might bring it on (need, celebration, calm) and what the light does in and around it. Light is a very voluminous thing. It both reveals and holds so much.
You make me slow. For this, I am grateful. (And I must come back later to read of your father and his asparagus.)
This is so beautiful William... As I read these beautiful words, I see someone kneeling in the woods, enveloped in the sun's rays, praying, meditating, healing, in a warm pool of sunlight on the forest floor, where their cares and worries are absorbed by the healing earth...

This poem is a photograph, a place I have been, a posture I have known, the wick and wax scenting illumination. I am warmed.
The warmth of light enclosing hands in meditation. And what this light takes to the floor, a resolve perhaps.

Such wonderful responses!
Erin, please do return, and imagine the hum of our old well, whether in need, celebration, or calm.
Thank you, Annie. As am I by what you’ve shared.
A resolve, perhaps, Robert; or simply the pain of too much knowing.
Janice, I love that you’ve taken this poem outdoors, and placed it in such a beautiful setting.
... this one brings back self-confidence...
it is so , thank you
Thank you, Laura. I’m glad.
Light will drip all over everything if you look real close. A wonderful poem.
Spoken like a true painter.... Thanks, Anthony.
