Words When We Need Them
Before this early moment,
another, ripe with rain,

Each day the rooster
we have never seen
raises the first greeting

in its loose pocket all night

Now we walk,
waking up rooms,
switching on lights.

wordless but ripe
with all possible words,
messages not yet gathered

Morning looms,

the best friend.
We could still say.
~Naomi Shihab Nye
from “The Red Suitcase”
   
Gratitude is the memory of the heart.  ~Jean Baptiste Massieu, translated from French
