Shadow
'Love beauty, it is a shadow of God
on the universe.' - Gabriela Mistral
In roseate clouds floating high,
across purple mountains
which scrape the sky,
on multicoloured autumn leaves
flaming on majestic trees,
I feel a shadow passing by.
In intricate petals of a summer rose
with the fragrant perfume it bestows,
in the mighty oceans' ceaseless roar,
and clear lark's song as she starts to soar,
I feel a shadow passing by.
From radiant sun's heat at noon,
to silver light of the harvest moon,
watching graceful movement of stars in flight,
in the deepest silence of velvet night,
I feel a shadow passing by.
The world in great beauty is immersed,
which is God's shadow on the universe.
