In the Window of the Morning

In the window of the morning
the sky weeps light
and dusts the air with glistening powder

I breathe and there is movement
as currents of my life make patterns

I whisper the word love
and watch a cartwheel ripple
across the room
as it whirls against the bright
frame of the door

I see amazing weight
in this dusty early gleaning
as if the day caught me and held me
in a minute
gave it to me to open some understanding

Life is fragile with responsibility
for the air around it waits for purpose
and when life is gone
the room will wither
the air loose its grace

and even the wind that sweeps the sidewalk
cannot change that

When I saw this title I knew who the author was without looking.
Yours is a luxurious view.
I love looking through your window!

It's hard to pick favorite lines when the whole is so flawless. *S* But these remind me of your work... your poems hold... and give us understanding we wouldn't find on our own. *S*

Only you would see this, only you would say it this way....only you.

I've told you before that I sometimes study your poetry, looking for ways to improve my own....you can bet I'll be looking hard at this one.
