It Is Morning, Quiet Morning

It is morning, quiet morning.
The honey-colored morn tiptoes silently,
through the lifting opaque sheers;
a mellow dew upon its wings,
sparkling shifting, sweet summer fairy dust.

I arise to inhale the sunrise,
stars, nearing sleep in the purple horizon leaving,
shimmer, ever so pale now in the saffron mist,
that warms the beckoning footpath below.

It is morning, quiet morning
as waves far off beneath a pale rose horizon,
gently lick the smooth white sand shore.
The green earth tilts through a sphere of clear air,
and bathes in the vastness of space and time.

Emerald vine leaves tickle my window pane.
Dew-drops sing to the garden stones.
The robin concurs with the delicate chinaberry tree;
ever repeating three clear tones to the heavens,
to my heart.

It is morning, quiet morning
I pause in the light to love you again.
Upright and firm you stand on a star undaunted,
immense and free as a cloud.

I will dedicate this moment before my soul,
to him alone, for this is his song.

It is morning, quiet morning,
there are horses neighing within far-off memories.
Tossing their long manes, silently calling us to confession.
We two departing, upon the breath of spirits,
....wherefore to… I care not.
