Blue Shining White

Blue shining white
Simple light of all
Graceful evident
To those who
Allow praise like
A thread barren
Through forest
Streaming

Instead

Of looking simply

Shall rest inviolate
Feather spent
For those who
No longer bless
The hand alone
Who feeds
Wishing

Although

Shining across

Branch and bark
Shadow valley
Searching
Bird track
Voice pure
Light through
Forest slope
Snow bank
Beaming.
