Thanks to everybody for your wonderful comments!
Like “The Little Prince”, I could watch the sunset over-and-over again. And your blog provides ample opportunities! This poem was written on the occasion of a sunrise, recalled after your recent posting of Michael Thomashefsky’s photograph. I submit it in celebration of Westport’s new poet laureate.
Inspiration
It doesn’t appear, interrupting
the inky night, like a
bare bulb, blinding white;
but gently, subtly:
out of the dull grayness of predawn,
yielding in silence to the pink
and mauve struggle of a day being born.
Abruptly, umber-knurled peaks of east-distant
hills are ablaze, and an orange ripe orb
ascends against a confederate sky,
rising flawlessly round
except for a crow-feather cloud
which, like language to poetry,
pierces perfection by betraying limits.
