Enamored

enamored
of this stained-glass panel
till it strikes me . . .
the image only shimmers
with sunlight behind it

    What a lovely nuanced message in this - very cool - little tanka. This one is very special, Janet.

    The poem makes a subtle segue into metaphor--how many things need the sun behind them before we see them shine?
