SHEETS OF LIGHT
A Poem by Alice B. Clagett
13 April 2019
Light came down in sheets and folds

Nearer than the breath of life
Faster than silver-footed thought
More sure than mother’s love
More curious than cats
More glorious than sunlight
. . caroming past Palm Sunday
Oh my Soul, remember!
. . . . .
In love, light and joy,
I Am of the Stars
