Afterglow

Afterglow from over a week of blue skies (with pool skeleton).
It's been a little like living in Switzerland, minus the snow.
Extremely welcome at this time of year.


Place light in my heart, and light in my soul,
Light upon my tongue, light in my eyes
And light in my ears,
Place light at my right, light at my left,
Light behind me and light before me,
Light above me and light beneath me.
Place light in my nerves and light in my flesh, 
Light in my blood, light in my hair
And light in my skin!
Give me light, increase my light, make me light!
