In all my layered light
The beam falls to your face
At dawn the day breaks open
Illuminating what I never knew before
Till there was you
Through Autumn trees that tower
Further than my eyes can stare
The bouncing twists of streaming sun
Land on your shoulders
Where I can rest my thoughts
Comes time for the painted horizon
To be blessed and blanketed, our day done
By the long hand light
That holds the mountain as our backdrop
While we light our tabletop candles
Arrives the moon, her pretty face
Of pearlized silver strung with a smile
The night sky sequined, laced with stars
As sparks lift from our fire
Flecks of fireworks frame your smile
And I seek shelter in it's glow
Then tired, turn my lazy laughter
To place upon your pillow
Outside the world slips into shadow
But I sleep in the light of your touch
And dream of trickling comet's tails
That brought your shine to mine
