    Morning


    He placed a rose on the bed-stand
    While she was sleeping.
    His wake-up message on the stand—
    Her smile on his face—awaken bliss.

    Remembrance;
    Memory box opened;
    Anticipation;
    Future opened and saved.

    Back and forth
    Through memory and experience,
    She recognizes this morning
    In her awakened spirit.

    She recognizes the mist,
    The rose, the moist grass;
    She recognizes his enlightened face
    And goes into the new morning with a smile.
