My Importance is Paramount - What am I?

It’s the first thing I see

angling through the blinds  in morning’s dawn

casting rays of brilliance on her hair like a halo

glowing in the eyes of newlyweds as bright as their love

emanating like the glow of a mother with her first born

radiating from the faces of children as they play

glittering in beach sand like fairy’s eyes

glinting a rainbow through Mama’s crystal vase like magic

laying like a lake on Grandma’s polished dining room table

encapsulating a dew drop like a jewel                                 

lining the edge of a leaf like a diamond bracelet

streaming through a window like a sword

shimmering like sapphires on the sea

twinkling in the sky like a million midnight smiles

catching on the wings of dragonflies as they flutter in its beam

tracing a  spider web like a DeVinci sketch

glowing like an opal in the night sky

sparking on a Christmas trees like stars

wrapping around  a sergeant’s polished shoes like a mirror

gleaming off the china as bright as spotlights

darting from a flashlight faster than a race horse

flashing from a mirror like a secret signal

leaping in the fireplace like a gyrating dancer

streaking across the sky during a storm like branches clawing the sky

glazing the streets like a rainbow in an evening shower

glistening on icicles like Christmas ornaments

emanating from a candle like the romance it fosters

flashing atop an ambulance in crisis

hovering on horizon’s edge like orange marmalade

beaming from the sun onto the moon like a veil

rimming the eyes of one who has lost their mate

glinting, lustering, beaming, brightening

burnishing the world

i am light
