Mornings I've Missed




Lately
I've been mourning
all the mornings I've missed
while mist must have drifted
like curled smoke
while I lay curled asleep
drifting through my dreary dreams.

Now that I know
that quiet exultation
that can mount within me,
nothing can hold me,
nothing can keep me
from morning walks in dew-laden fields
when morning walks across the earth
hand in hand with me.
