Light
Light - meaning Summary
Light as Overwhelming Joy
The speaker addresses a beloved and celebrates light as a pervasive, life-giving force that suffuses inner feeling and the natural world. Light animates love, music, and laughter, turning ordinary images—butterflies, lilies, clouds—into shimmering, joyful spectacle. The poem presents an ecstatic, overflowing vision in which brightness dissolves boundaries, floods the heavens, and scatters gems; its tone is celebratory and sensorial rather than argumentative or reflective.

Ah, the light dances, my darling, at the center of my life; The light strikes, my darling, the chords of my love; The sky opens, the wind runs wild, laughter passes over the earth. The butterflies spread their sails on the sea of light. Lilies and jasmines surge up on the crest of the waves of light. The light is shattered into gold on every cloud, my darling, and it scatters gems in profusion. Mirth spreads from leaf to leaf, my darling, and gladness without measure. The heaven’s river has drowned its banks and the flood of joy is abroad.
