I love her
when she bids me,
“Come!
quickly!”
see the sun
above the ocean
rise to paint
dawn sky, sea spray,
apricot,
the unhindered horizon
shimmering yellow gold.
I come, not so quickly
from a warm bed,
am stunned by mornings glory!
I love her
when she bids me,
“Come!
Quickly!”
In the hot summer night
when there is no
hindrance to my rising
and the glory’s
more the stunning.
