The treetop glimmers outside my window

The treetop glimmers outside my window

As light, dancing upon the leaves –

Shimmers off each leaf in soft yellow.

From afar, my attention is retrieved

By light, pure and perfectly aglow.

In the wind, swaying gently –

Each leaf is twirled as a ballerina –

Playing with my fragile jealousy.

I think I hear in the wind a viola –

Oh, light – would you dance with me?
