 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?
