In All My Layered Light

In all my layered light The beam falls to your face At dawn the day breaks open Illuminating what I never knew before Till there was you Through Autumn trees that tower Further than my eyes can stare The bouncing twists of streaming sun Land on your shoulders Where I can rest my thoughts Comes time for the painted horizon To be blessed and blanketed, our day done By the long hand light That holds the mountain as our backdrop While we light our tabletop candles Arrives the moon, her pretty face Of pearlized silver strung with a smile The night sky sequined, laced with stars As sparks lift from our fire Flecks of fireworks frame your smile And I seek shelter in it's glow Then tired, turn my lazy laughter To place upon your pillow Outside the world slips into shadow But I sleep in the light of your touch And dream of trickling comet's tails That brought your shine to mine
