here
Shafts of light like spider-legs
approach through morning fog,
gathering dew from the grass.
there
Noon stands astride the world
a brazen colossus, red-hot fire
dripping from his hands.
there
Crescent moon, a scoop of sky
flavored peach and lavender
melting to turquoise silk.
everywhere
Chandeliers of planets swing
like vari-colored lamps in
gravitational brackets.
everywhere
Life runs over like softened wax
from aromatic candles, shaped by
currents and unrepeatable chance.
nowhere
is empty

Oh, Tiel, I love this! The spider-legs, the fire dripping, the scoop of sky, the softened wax. Just wonderful images!
I love this too. You carry strong images throughout this piece and end it on such a note that one thinks about those currents and unrepeatable chances. Well done. Have a great night.
Here, there and everywhere - What a good read!
