High Key

they call it in photography


when the light is not orange but white

not when the sun shines bright

nor in a stormy day.



But this kind of light brings forth to life

A desire to pause and savor the sight

of greeneries outside the window

and the listen to the chirping of the lone bird on the willow.



Sit down and rest a while

Be inspired and feel the cool and the warmth

Creativity comes to sight

Every little thing the hands touches alight.



Not the excitement that comes on a sunny day

Not the sad mood that the rains blow away

But the calm and contentment it brings

painted by this hue.
