Sun Reflector

(David Lintner wrote)

It is just a little thing
The sun reflector turning
On the end of its nylon string.

I am not so much caught by
The rainbow play of colors
On my office wall
As with the afternoon
Indirect light
Which ripples across the surface
Of the variegated plane.
It softens into shades and rays
Of silver light,

Like the sun sometimes
On the surface of the
Ocean at sunset,
When all is soft whites
And brilliant grays
And silence.
