Description
I am drunk withthe Morning.
My skin laves in
golden light.
Slowly, slowly,
arise the people
from their beds,
a muttering or two
from their groggy mouths.
But I! I am fully awake, fully aware,
as my world unfolds itself before
my wondering eyes. I want to glorify,
I want to pray, I want to proclaim
all I see here: the sun dappling the rooftops,
reflecting in every window,
shining upon every patch of grass, every piece of cement,
in every corner of every sky,
upon every telephone wire
and every singing bird.
The peace it brings
is a peace of silence,
newness,
prayer;
An excellent peace.
And—what a miracle!—
to praise its comings
after angry storms and nightmares,
after nights of no moonlight and less hope.
The Morning
does not ask
questions, for
as I Am, it
Is.

I told you this roughly 2 seconds ago, but I'll tell you again: I really like this poem. The tone of wonder and reverence throughout towards the sun and the early morning light is perfect, the final verse is so beautifully enigmatic and it's really just lovely.
