The treetop glimmers outside my window

The treetop glimmers outside my window

   As light, dancing upon the leaves -

Shimmers off each leaf in soft yellow. 

   From afar, my attention is retrieved

By light, pure and perfectly aglow. 

In the wind, swaying gently -

   Each leaf is twirled as a ballerina -

Playing with my fragile jealousy. 

   I think I hear in the wind a viola -

Oh, light - would you dance with me?
