Claude Monet – A Visual Symphony of Light

(inspired by The Holon Cube Exhibit of Claude Monet paintings)

 

Light cannot be captured; it is elusive.

It must be lived; thus, shared, distributed,

To remain within, as on a canvas.

It permeates all; yet, it hides in and out,

 

Behind shadows, yet, never disappears.

It walks, runs, flies, sails, drifts, drowns; is reborn

Each dawn, a new light flows, into sunset,

Like a river, each and every wave,

 

Ripple and current; it winds its journey

Through Divine Life- Given Breath, as music.

In a symphony of opus movements,

Monet played his palette to the baton’s light,

 

Conducted by the Divine orchestra,

As a first violin, with instruments

Of woodwind, percussion, bowed- string branches

To remain within, as on a canvas.

 

Light cannot be captured; it is elusive

It must be lived; thus, shared, distributed.
