The Book of Days…part xxxv
The Book of Days
The dawn’s early light can be pleasure enough for the whole day.
There are words enough to tell the story of “the temptation of day to come.”
It is my delight to write some of them for your delectation.
In other words
In a mist of morn
I see the other world
beyond my nearest trees,
the mute and misted bloom
against the hill,
it hides the far green
for moments more…
The hope of day
above the darkened mound,
a hue on the vault
that tells of dawn
in ancient signs
that I now see,
again,
I chant the joys
of my yesterdays
in this vale…
…so much of the other is so near.

Here’s what you’ll find on my website:
my poetry in free verse and 5-7-5 haiku format—nature poems, love poems, poems about grandchildren, and poems for reading aloud—written in a way that invites you to know, as precisely as possible, what’s going on in my mind and in my imagination;
thoughtful book reviews that offer an exceptional critique of the book instead of a simple book summary;
my reflections on the words, art, and wisdom of famous and not-so-famous people, and occasional comments on human nature, and
luscious examples of my love affair with words.
