Poem: In The Deep Woods, Light Whispers

by Jon Katz
Light Whispers
Light Whispers

 

“In the deep woods, light whispers,

I have to be silent to catch the sound,

it is, I am surprised to hear,

music, the light is singing me a song,

as she dances through the forest,

stopping here, then there,

moving gracefully

over the dark forest floor.

Listen to me, she whispers,

clear your frantic mind and rejoice.

My music, she trills,

will circle the earth forever and ever,

and fall, like newborn angels

trying their wings,

to the forest floor.

Sing your song to me,

she says, I will give you

the title,

“Today Will Be The Best Day Of My Life.”
