No telling what will appear
when the wide arc of earth
slowly turns to meet the sun.
A muddy tangle of clawing vines,
the sweeping bend of a broad river
or the flow of peace
from one darkened window
waiting with thanks
for the coming light.

  1. Don, I am with you there…in the adventure of a new day in the context of a vast sky and a steady flowing river. Is this not the life we’ve longed to live!?

  2. Don, the poem certainly has a strong thought. You express it with a simplicity that makes it one of your best writings, I think. Thanks for sending it.

  3. I wake up every morning and wonder what the day will bring. I am never disappointed. The new is always exciting.

  4. beautiful poem Don! and I welcome it all – no telling how or where it all fits and works together to perfection. db
