River Sunrise :: igwrt

[Carol Law Conklin, Amity Farm Batik, River Sunrise – Lothlorien – Large Giclee Print]

 

This morning’s river is just a river

to me with my wine hangover

these trees just trees, just trees

’til I turn my dull squint to you

to see your eyes aglow, backlit with

artistic vision, and I know that

later you will render this scene

with a beauty which will haunt me

remembering

how it was just a river and trees in my bleary eyes

and so I try, try to see what you are seeing

the dimming veil of my headache lifting

then, just for a moment, to let

glory

in.
