GUARDIAN OF TIME
I don’t know how I knew this –
This deepening love – subjectivity of experience –
The desolation of the prairie rabbit –
How the sky and the air can turn pink
For no reason.
We would not have seen the pink
Unless there were sun beaming down, its
Wishes closing in, guarding our treasures,
Answering the question:
How to love without fear
Just look at the ball of sun behind the tree
Now a deepening orange
Now a fanning behind the branches
Like images in God’s dream—
Did you think there was an easier access to happiness?
