Does Light Grow

does light grow, does it have roots 
can it become, does it have shoots
is it restless like a stellar tumbleweed
,
does it need more or float like a pond lily

it seems to me
it only Is. beyond all shores known and unknown
a kind of benificence on its own, an attribute of God

that if flows not only to the green tendrils
though we cannot see it do so
sometimes a net caught

on the waters
threaded with gold, light appears to be
the shining of the Sea

which could not shine alone

a blue line in a green wave approaching

I dreamed like Dante
Light was a rose
forever unfolding

scented like stars
or snow.
I dreamed it was healing us so

in our sleep
even through unaccountable weeping

and when,
we arose.
