“Coming to the Morning” by W.S. Merwin
Published in:
The Rain in the Trees, 1987You make me remember all of the elements
the sea remembering all of its waves
in each of the waves there was always a sky made of water
and an eye that looked once
there was the shape of one mountain
and a blood kinship with rain
and the air for touch and for the tongue
at the speed of light
in which the world is made
from a single star
and our ears
are formed of the sea as we listen
