UMBRA

I love the shadows of things;
Pale, grey, patternings
In the aqueous wonder of dawn:
Elm branches distort,
Outrageously wrought
On a woven texture of lawn.
Cloud shadows that go
In stateliest pacing
Of nebulous gracing
Down valleys of tumbled loam:
Faint shapes in the snow
Intricately interlacing,
Of moonlight tracing:
The shifting shadow of foam on foam.
