The Coming of Light

December 3, 2007

The Coming of Light
Even this late it happens:

the coming of love, the coming of light. 

You wake and the candles are lit as if by themselves, 

stars gather, dreams pour into your pillows, 

sending up warm bouquets of air.

Even this late the bones of the body shine 

and tomorrow's dust flares into breath.  ~ Mark Strand
