Fall

French light dapples on the wall

Embroidered light as soft as lace

She dances with the red patterns that float like fairies

Winter

The Sweat of the Winter light crumbles into his skin like God’s spirit

It can never reach his chest inside,

It only flows and sinks through into the church floorboards

Thence into the temple of freedom and fire

His entire being longing for the crushing force of light to free him.

Summer

And just like that,

The tears of joy that hit her face also aligned with a smile of summer light that covered her like a dress of clouds,

All would be forgiven, after-all.

Spring

Breaks of wispy sea breeze climbs over the mountains of light like a crisp new dawn

He stands perched on the edge of the cliff

Soaking in the most glorious sunshine

Realizing how far he’s come

It’s a beautiful sight to be alive.
