It is at last any morning
\nnot answering to a name
\nI wake before there is light
\nhearing once more that same
\nmusic without repetition
\nor beginning playing
\naway into itself
\nin silence like a wave
\na unison in its own
\nkey that I seem
\nto have heard before I
\nwas listening but by the time
\nI hear it now it is gone
\nas when on a morning
\nalive with sunlight
\nalmost at the year’s end
\na feathered breath a bird
\nflies in at the open window
\nthen vanishes leaving me
\nbelieving what I do not see<\/p>\n
