The Book of Days…part lxii
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.
to come
The star of day
troubles low clouds
in the earliest dawning,
there is none of day,
the horizon a muddle,
the faint light
pushes the high dark,
a promise strains in the vault.
