You threw <br />open the shutters <br /> <br />& the sunlight <br />took you <br /> <br />in it's arms <br /> <br />caressing you <br />with light <br /> <br />your nakedness <br />becoming golden <br /> <br />half of you in shadow <br />half of you in light <br /> <br />the sun's fingers <br />sculpting you <br /> <br />into a burnished statue <br />of itself <br /> <br />a glowing goddess <br /> <br />& you closed <br />your eyes & laughed <br /> <br />gasped as if <br />you'd dived <br /> <br />into a river of light <br /> <br />drowning in morning <br />& time.<br /><br />Dónall Dempsey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/becoming-divine/
