As morn lifts light, it is but one thought that awakens here
To feel the fit and settled seas, arise and wake, a ship to steer
As sacred as the blood that throbs a life emerging to be known
This time prepares, traverse the stairs, in steps of all alone

Recalled the first of love to leave, the breaking of this will
A haunting that has hollowed out, was once a father still
Attuned revisions came before his silenced thunderous hand
Into the pooled decisions, that clears again each grain of sand

And washed upon the spotless face unworthy of this love
To find so many days a neutral lisp, unsaid in absence of
Asleep against the reasons that would otherwise dispense
This time prepares, traverse the stares, and all to be against

As mourn lifts light, it is but once that lasted on through time
That draws again the wounds that broke of reasons and of rhyme
As sacred as the waterfalls that bring the surge to thirst
Into the pool, my pallet fuel, and paint myself through first

Kathleen, I love the way you write. The rhyme
in this poem is perfect and flows so easily.
I especially liked this last verse.

That draws again the wounds that broke of reasons and of rhyme
As sacred as the waterfalls that bring the surge to thirst
Into the pool, my pallet fuel, and paint myself through first

Thank you for sharing.
Hugs,
Ethel
