Sun and shade in the forest

I see every leaf of every tree in the forest arrayed in an ideal position like a house with every room facing the sea. From the point of view of the sun everything is sunlit.
Bright green leaves above
moving dappled shade below. 
Living light and shade.

wrestling with the melody
that possesses me.
