In the Music of a Quiet Morning
.
In the music of a quiet morning
I am listening to small creatures
Singing in the threatened line of trees
Hiding darkly between
Growing rows of houses.
.
I could still be asleep
As the lullabies spring
From the leaves.
But I am called into waking,
And like these chirping birds
And frogs and cicadas,
I must also answer
To the scratching thirsts
And hungers of the day.
.
I think about stacks of paper,
And the meetings,
And all the little fires
That need tending, and the
Press of eyes and whispers and
The ever-circling shadows
And the lists and times
And seasons unlocking
Carefully waiting
Gates of grace,
And I must wonder,
Whether any one thing
Insufficient to itself
Against the need
Is ever truly
Counted free.
.
I let these questions
Simply fall away as your
Hand moves silently into mine,
Holding neither my fingers
Or my fears, or my shame,
But just my heart.
And I know that
Whatever befalls us
Here in the singing stillness
Between the times,
When you see me,
I am not erased.
