The taste of morning fills all the corners
of every room of my heart
where hallowed breath seeks a new start

I break the day with my long hand
that culls the skin then enters in
the rhapsody of quiet there

Within this labyrinth of timelessness
the dredge of minutes disappears
then takes the shadows and makes them clear

Close the tumult of treachery and whisper not
of stories dripping false assumption
that life and death are grievous sad

Then watch the heart take all the glory
as each step turns the trodden into golden
expectation of a day gone suddenly to glad

This feels gently and warm of
the dream I awoke from, this morning;
no fear, just clear
and everlasting
know.

I started to copy passage...the entrance of this superb...but then I got caught up in the timeless resonance, and I couldn't pick a favorite line at all, as the whole of it left me breathless. Lovely.

I like the "real" in your poetry, Martie. I love the metamorphis here where the day is changing from one of harshness and dread to a day of courage and optimism. It is SOOOO good to see your name gracing these pages again! Be well my internet friend.

Glad is definitely the place to be.

Maybe I'll see you there... someday.

Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even to the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.

This poem is too precious and wonderful to remain hidden in the archives.
