Autumn Light

Hands in water,
dishes being washed,
a warm glow
fills the room.
My eyes move
from sink
to window
to the sun,
setting.
The last leaves
on the trees
are dancing
in the autumn light,
catching bits
of sunshine,
as it fades
into the horizon.

I walk into a room,
each time
something new.
The light,
glimmering,
shining,
has changed.
Autumn light
is casting shadows 
never seen
before,
catching details
never noticed.

The slant of light
has changed,
it moves more freely
through the leafless
trees,
dancing upon our home
and nature,
leaving its mark,
for a moment,
before moving on.

Autumn light
you are warming,
soul filling.
You capture
little things
in your shimmer,
bringing a fresh view
for the eye
to notice.
