Poem 0171 (for Anita): still
My feet drop from the bed onto the floor.
Even the wooden planks are chilled in the darkness
Of the morning.
My longing heart calls out for light,
So I close my eyes to remember that the darkness
Starts from inside.
Tender with barely awakeness,
I hover for a moment at the top of stairs.
Something awesome is arriving.
This day (like every day) is inviting me
Into its newness.
