Read Poem: Choir of Light by Kenneth Richard Hardman

The choir of light, they sing tonight, in brilliant harmony,
Each shining ray, a part to play, to bring one voice to me.

The choral lead, the sun indeed, sends light in every way,
Diffraction bends through droplet lens, adds sparkle in the spray.

Translucent clouds, the light enshrouds, revealing shades and hue,
Reflecting ground, turns up-side-down, and duplicates the view.

Opaque the rock, the light to block, disclosing solid form,
Unseen behind, the rainbow finds, refracted colors warm.

Scattered light, precedes the night, as rays pass through the air,
The reds get through, but not the blue, except up high and fair.

The final gleam, lights one last beam, then silent far too soon,
But look up high in night’s dark sky, ‘it lives’ resounds the moon.

The choir of light, they sing tonight, in brilliant harmony,
Each shining ray, a part to play, to bring one voice to me.
