rising sun in my house
dawn is dawn is dawn is
dawn is
things for us
things for you
things for me
things no-ever
not-ever, not-found
not-solid, not-liquid
not in the sky on the ground
not in the rising sequence of best sound
not in the lost you
the found me
the tinyest drop
the biggest sea
horizons score
captains are lost
blinded by dawn, detained by frost
following gulls, the sun is spilled
following winds, forever thrilled
sails flapping – forever filled
the torrent
is calling in rain
pictures are framed
lost lions are lamed
galileo is shamed
the journey began
on the legs of a child
ends now on animals wild
on smiles endlessly smiled
on rising stairways tiled
with these little square jewels
these moments, mine with you
this dawn is dawn is dawn
growing endless & tall
on my front lawn
it’s here in my hand
and now
it’s gone
the light
is turned on
the river
has found
the swan
