The quiet morning
is full of light.
If I go out into the air with you,
even though I come back alone
I shall be full of the noises
of other people: cacophony
of trying to be happy
away from the silence of being.
You, though, do all things
to make others bloom into joy.
I shall go to meet you,
as if carrying roses.
as if carrying roses.
Mini-challenge, from 'imaginary garden with real toads': to write in the style of Jane Hirshfield. I wonder if I have succeeded?
