MORNING
(For Stanley Kunitz)
Morning
and the slow
sorrows of the night, the failures
of age, the resistence
of the flesh, fade
away. Twenty, again,
in the brightness of morning!
And in thought, where I thrive,
paths open out, horizons
beckon, the hint
of a god remains.
Released, like a bird!
I take the body with me
on this journey into light --
risen again, still singing.
--Peter Marin
