chasing light

“Light is always changing,
Sometimes blinding, sometimes hiding in the shadows,
It fills the cracks of the landscape, asking me to chase it.

A glowing horizon is life-giving;
The warmth of sunlight, an invitation to look up.
Pine and birch, drenched in its glow.
Gathered leaves dance in a flickering halo.”

~ Amy Montgomery
