Day 543: Bearing the Light

 

Jewelled raindrops, they never cease to be fascinating. Ideal subject matter for a poem.
 


Bearing the Light - Denise Levertov

Rain-diamonds, this winter morning, 
embellish the tangle of unpruned pear-tree twigs; 
each solitaire, placed, it appears, with considered judgement, 
bears the light beneath the rifted clouds - 
the indivisible shared out in endless abundance.
