Light Remembers

Dazzling rays,
you remembered --
as the violins swelled,
bypassing my heart,
speaking only to my soul. 
You remembered,
as the earth lit up through the trees,
lake bathed in misty light;
and I felt the old sweetness
enter, not with a voice
no longer here,
but through my eyes,
through light familiar;
youth bursting through
the death that has been
mine,
new path strewn with rays
glistening;
finest straws of blown glass
mingling
with sound sublime.
