MORNING OF MINE

MORNING OF MINE
CLARITY YOU BRING WITH YOU
THOUGH RAIN WASHED IT ALL AWAY
I REMEMBER THE SCENT OF THE PILLOW I LEFT BEHIND
IT IS FAMILIAR NOW
WHAT IF IT WAS NOT, THIS IS NO LONGER A QUESTION
THE HOURS AND MINUTES I LAID AWAKE
I FELT ENERGY RUNNING THROUGH MY BODY
THOUGH I WAS MOTIONLESS
MY BRAIN WAS SCATTERED BUT MY MIND
WAS STILL AND SPONGING IT ALL THROUGH ME
FILTERING AND DESIRING AND BREATHING IT IN
DRIP BY DRIP IT ENTHUSED MY SKIN
MORNING OF MINE MAY YOU ALWAYS BE SO CLEAR
NOT THE WEATHER, FOR ALL I KNOW THE RIVERS OPEN WIDE
NOT THE MOMENT, AS IT CEASES WHEN A NEW ONE ARRIVES
BUT THE HOUR IN WHICH WE RISE
WHEN I CAN HUMBLY SAY
MORNING OF MINE
YOU ARE TO ME
WHAT THE PLAIN BEIGE FIELDS ARE TO THE ZEBRAS
YOU BRING ME TO KNOW WHAT THE ALASKAN WILDERNESS
TEACHES THE NEWCOMER OVER AND OVER
THAT THE BEAUTY WILL COME AGAIN
JUST MUST LET IT AND MUST NOT TRY TO HOLD IT
MORNING OF MINE
