A World at Home

A World at Home

On the floor, in the corridor,
shafts of light dancing on the lines
of wooden strips receding in the distance
to the stairs to the attic
and the window behind,
lit in vague and moving patterns
as the lowering sun shines
through the branches of the trees,
the wind creating this playful game
of light and shadow on the glass,
throwing transcendent beams
to the floor where bright shapes
dance to enrich my sight.
Imprisoned in the house,
adventure still finds a way.
