Another great one from UU. 🙂
not just from the autumnal
or from the angle of the sun
as the trees provide a much
larger protective canopy
or when even the smallest
house seems to occupy
a much larger footprint
or when the light appears
to streak across the landscape
rather than bathe it from above
no
when, for the entire year,
from solstice to solstice,
when I am able to bask
in the shadows of the greats
as their shade grows longer
covering many more beneath,
then perhaps I too can relish
in all of the beauty they created
and find the stirring that
will cause my shadow
to extend to the horizon
