...in this place the gods touched earth....
—Jim Harrison
full moon rising up
the sun setting in spring sky
glides and hovers
balances light with dark
chiaroscuro equinox
gladdening the earth with light.

My favorite time is when the moon and sun appear in earth's sky together. A special, mystical kind of light nicely portrayed in these words.
