Light shatters the Black of night.
Breaking forth, it grabs a glint of skyline.
It moves from the Gray beginnings in the East
Continuing its westward trek towards
The Final Peace.
Dissolution, preceded by the light- momentarily
Tearing the spectrum into a blaze of colors.
The light warms the contoured terrain
Nob Hill, Bernal Heights, Twin Peaks
And
Corona Heights.
Crisscrossed Light and Shadow.
Light and shadow perform a pas de deux.
The Movement- Graceful, gradual and
Constantly changing with intricate patterns.
Other players involve themselves in the ballet.
The Adagio develops.
The Light and the Wall have interplay.
The Creation of an ever-changing Shadow.
Longer Shorter
Vanished.
Shorter. Longer.
The wall shields.
Everything in its shadow remains
Safely in the Wall's cool, calm protection.
Obliterate the wall.
Disassemble it- brick by brick.
The light floods all in its wake.
We are part of the light.
From Morning's grayness to Evening's
Final Spectral Chorus.
The Brightness, The Warmth
The Love.
