In the Faerie Light of Dawn



On July 24, as I rode the Clinton-Mukilteo ferry on my way to SeaTac, I saw this scene through the window.
 
Cascades are silhouetted against the sky:
jagged scissor-snips,
two-dimensional
in pre-dawn gray.

with breaking light comes
depth and fullness, the
shadow box flatness
turned out to 3-D glory

edges lose precision,
and details of contrast
fill in peaks,
revealing snow-covered splendor.
