Poetry

Morning Song

Gary Clark

Risen from my slumbering mind

I wake to find you before me

 

wide eyed and with smiling face,

our eyes a transparent film

 

through which our heart’s

light shone, each to each.

 

This happiness which has no secrets,

the heart’s undeceiving joy,

 

illumes and cleanses

the unseen depths of pain,

 

washing away our death

and all of our reasons to die.
