Breathless
My eyes are all out of breath
A day such as this
feels the calm fingers
........ of eternity
In this....the morning of a new year
change stands on the horizon
Yet, earth feels no quiver
...the air
weaves no motion in the shafts of wheat
to mark the soundless trail by which the seasons pass
So hushed a day is this
that one mere leaf
floating earthward with compliant sigh
would send the echo of it's whispering
across the purple arches of the sky
can I? should I? even try to write a poem?
for, who am I to describe?
