MORNING WORD
A poem
that adds perhaps a particular feeling and meaning to a natural
scene. Of course, the scene could be seen in many different ways- as
a celebration of light, sensory and spiritual, is just one. The poem
is in anapestic tetrameters From Wikipedia- An anapestic
foot is two unstressed syllables followed by a stressed syllable. We
could write the rhythm like this:
| da | da | DUM |
| da | da | DUM | da | da | DUM | da | da | DUM | da | da | DUM |

MORNING WORD
On the leaves of the
forest the water-drops are
as a bursting of
brightness, a splashing of stars.
And their clusters
of sparklings, their crowding scintilla,
shimmer golden and
white, being sparks of the light
of the new eastern
rays from ascending of sun.
There it seems that
its shining is seen by my sight
where the beams that
are slanting through mist are revealed
by the lighting of
millions of droplets afloat
in the cool winter
air in the rising of day.
And the moment is
painting the radiant way.
And I sense in the
brightness the world's secret sight,
the arising of
dawning, the word of the light.
