each day

Each day, the sun arouses

In me the living moment;

And daily the sun descends

Into a marvelous wonder.

 

Emboldened by the sun’s arrival,

I venture forth to face my wage,

Followed down my lively path

By her bright and fair illumination.

 

Briefly purchased, and too soon

The precious day is done:

Another leaf torn from the pages

Of my unknowable, unfinished book.
